Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating pyridine-based compounds with insecticidal or herbicidal activity. Commonly employed in condensation and nucleophilic substitution reactions to build more complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in research settings for designing kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies in medicinal chemistry.
