Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex pyridine-based structures. Commonly employed in Suzuki, Stille, and Negishi couplings to introduce aryl or alkyl groups during the synthesis of medicinal compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients. The compound’s reactivity profile supports its role in creating libraries for high-throughput screening in drug discovery.
