Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where brominated pyridines serve as building blocks for coupling reactions. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex molecules in drug discovery. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for the production of herbicides and insecticides due to its stability and reactivity in catalytic transformations. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds in fine chemical manufacturing.
