Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly fungicides and herbicides, due to its reactive bromo and fluoro groups that allow for further functionalization. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients targeting plant pathogens in crop protection. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for building fluorinated pyridine derivatives, which can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig to form carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen bonds in complex molecule assembly.
