Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders. Acts as a key intermediate in the production of compounds with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Employed in organic chemistry research for the preparation of complex molecules due to its reactive carboxylic acid and pyridine groups. Also utilized in the creation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, to enhance crop protection. Its derivatives are explored in material science for developing advanced polymers and coatings.
