Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based drugs. It plays a role in the preparation of active ingredients for agrochemicals and biologically active compounds due to its functional groups that allow further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Its nitro and bromo substituents make it suitable for cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions, enabling the creation of diverse derivatives for drug discovery and material science applications.
