Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its halogenated pyridine structure makes it valuable for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where fluorinated and brominated aromatic systems enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel functional materials and ligands in catalysis.
