Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. Its functional groups enable selective substitutions, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in research for designing kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents due to the reactivity of the bromo and nitro groups. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where halogenated nitropyridines contribute to electronic or optical properties.
