Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in crop protection chemicals, making it valuable in agrochemical research. The compound’s halogenated pyridine core enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug design, contributing to improved efficacy and pharmacokinetics in final active compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of novel heterocyclic systems for use in medicinal chemistry and process optimization.
