Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. The presence of chlorine atoms enhances reactivity and allows for further functionalization, increasing its utility in complex molecule construction. Commonly employed in research and process chemistry for the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives with tailored biological activity.
