Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based scaffolds that enhance drug binding and selectivity. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives. Serves as a ligand in catalytic systems for cross-coupling reactions, improving efficiency in organic synthesis.
