Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecules in drug discovery. Commonly employed in palladium-catalyzed reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to form carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients. Its amine and halogen functional groups provide versatility in multi-step synthetic routes.
