Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides due to its halogen and electron-withdrawing groups that enhance reactivity and binding properties. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex molecules for crop protection agents. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based bioactive compounds with potential antitumor, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activity. The presence of bromine facilitates palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, enabling efficient molecular diversification in drug discovery and process chemistry.
