Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and central nervous system agents. Its structural features allow for selective derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic compounds. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity in cross-coupling reactions. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis for constructing nitrogen-containing rings through condensation and cyclization processes.
