Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drug discovery. Commonly employed in organic synthesis for cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromine moiety, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds. Also serves as a building block in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where substituted pyridines are required.
