Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its halogenated pyridine structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Also employed in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-withdrawing properties and stability. Commonly utilized in Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions to form carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds in advanced organic synthesis.
