Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where halogenated pyridine derivatives are required. Its structure allows for selective functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to enhance molecular stability.
