Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active molecules targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Its bromo-substituted pyridine core allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating diverse compound libraries. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with potential insecticidal or herbicidal activity.
