Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated pyridine structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug candidates. Commonly employed in agrochemical research to design new pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in active ingredients. Also utilized in materials science for creating functionalized organic semiconductors and ligands for catalytic systems.
