Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated pyridine structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex drug candidates. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions to introduce aryl or amino groups. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with targeted activity. The presence of both bromo and iodo substituents offers sequential functionalization opportunities, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in late-stage synthesis.
