Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromopyridine moiety, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
