Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pyridine-based pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, and antiviral drugs. Its structure serves as a starting material for creating biologically active derivatives, with the bromine group enabling substitution reactions to form bonds with other functional groups, such as amino or hydroxyl moieties, via processes like Buchwald-Hartwig or Suzuki coupling. This facilitates molecular structure expansion for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry, where it acts as a building block for heterocyclic compound design. Additionally, it is utilized in research for novel pyridine derivatives with therapeutic potential and as an intermediate in synthesizing fluorescent compounds or organic materials for certain electronic devices.
