Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinamide-based drugs targeting neurological and inflammatory conditions. Its bromine functionality allows for easy coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Heck reactions. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its structural similarity to bioactive pyridine derivatives. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials owing to its electron-withdrawing amide group and halogenated aromatic ring.
