Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive halogen groups that allow for selective functionalization. Its structure enables coupling reactions in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for building blocks in heterocyclic compounds, where the bromine and chlorine atoms facilitate cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Ullmann. Commonly found in routes to produce plant growth regulators and crop protection agents.
