Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor agonists and antagonists. It plays a role in creating compounds for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including treatments for depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the production of certain pesticides and herbicides due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification in organic synthesis, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
