Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where halogenated pyridines serve as building blocks for coupling reactions. Its dual halogen functionality allows selective cross-coupling, enabling the introduction of various substituents in drug molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and structural properties. Suitable for use in palladium-catalyzed reactions such as Suzuki and Heck couplings.
