Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure, featuring a bromo group at position 6, methoxy at 5, and amine at 3 on the pyridine ring, allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form C–C and C–N bonds, it supports the creation of complex drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and stability in multi-step syntheses.
