Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid group enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds in heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based scaffolds found in drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. The presence of bromine offers a handle for further functionalization, enhancing its utility in multi-step synthetic routes.
