Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in Suzuki, Stille, and Negishi couplings to introduce aryl or alkyl groups during drug discovery processes. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized pyridine derivatives that serve as key scaffolds in advanced organic synthesis.
