Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with high target specificity. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and drug candidates due to the combined influence of the fluorine atom and pyridine ring, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
