Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its bromo and carboxylic acid functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to introduce aromatic moieties. Also serves as a building block in the preparation of fluorescent probes and agrochemicals due to its stable pyridine core and derivatization potential.
