Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of the 5-bromopyridine moiety into larger molecules, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and medicinal compounds. Commonly employed in coupling reactions to form amides and esters, especially in research settings focused on kinase inhibitors and other biologically active targets. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in the construction of complex heterocyclic systems.
