Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and insecticides due to its reactive amino and bromo functional groups. The compound is also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where halogenated pyridines enhance stability and reactivity. Its structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
