Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the bromo group allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and insecticides, due to its stable pyridine core and reactive halogen site. Also utilized in research laboratories for building complex organic molecules, especially in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Its methyl substituents enhance lipophilicity, making it valuable in designing bioactive compounds with improved membrane permeability.
