Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with biological activity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules. Also utilized in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its pyridine core, which mimics natural bioactive molecules. Its bromo and fluoro substituents provide sites for further chemical modification, enhancing versatility in synthetic routes.
