Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its functionalized pyridine core allows for selective derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance binding affinity with target enzymes in pests. The compound's halogen and amine groups facilitate cross-coupling reactions, enabling efficient construction of complex heterocyclic systems in drug discovery programs.
