Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromo substituent, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in drug discovery pathways. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules where pyridine derivatives exhibit desirable biological activity.
