Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where halogenated pyridines enhance biological activity. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Commonly employed in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and kinase inhibitors due to the combined electronic effects of bromo, fluoro, and methoxy groups. Also utilized in research for building complex heterocyclic systems in medicinal chemistry.
