Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds where the bromopyridine moiety serves as a handle for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig.
