Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. Its functional groups enable selective substitutions, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to form carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where nitro and bromo substituents serve as reactive handles for further derivatization.
