Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients where the bromine atoms at positions 2 and 3 allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. The 6-methoxy group enhances structural stability. Commonly employed in research and development for creating novel pyridine-based compounds with potential biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for the production of certain pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and structural stability.
