Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Negishi couplings to introduce the pyridine moiety into drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
