Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for selective modification to develop active ingredients that target specific pests while minimizing environmental impact. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. The presence of bromo and chloro leaving groups enables coupling reactions, making it valuable in cross-coupling processes like Suzuki or Heck reactions for building complex molecules. Commonly utilized in the development of pyridine-based derivatives for crop protection agents.
