Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nicotinic receptor agonists and antagonists. Commonly employed in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating selective herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in active ingredients. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for coupling reactions in heterocyclic chemistry, especially in the construction of complex pyridine-based molecules.
