Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. 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 carbon–carbon bond formation. Also utilized in the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives for research in drug discovery and agrochemical development.
