Used as a key 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, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for modifying pyridine-based scaffolds to enhance potency and selectivity. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized heterocycles for use in crop protection agents and drug candidates targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases.
