Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimalarial drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the quinoline core, which is known for antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties. Also employed in research for developing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic activity. Shows utility in agrochemical research for creating plant protection agents owing to its stability and reactivity. Limited solubility in water but dissolves well in organic solvents, making it suitable for use in solvent-based chemical reactions.
