Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides due to its reactivity in cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in research laboratories for constructing complex pyridine-based molecules, especially in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow selective modifications, enabling the introduction of various substituents through nucleophilic substitution or metal-catalyzed reactions.
