Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its halogenated pyridine structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and drug candidates requiring specific substitution patterns on the pyridine ring. The presence of bromo and chloro groups enables sequential functionalization, offering flexibility in synthetic routes.
