Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its halogen and nitro functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyridine-based active ingredients where fluorine and bromine substitution enhances biological activity and metabolic stability. Also utilized in research for designing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds in medicinal chemistry.
