Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic frameworks. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity. Also utilized in materials science for creating functionalized pyridine-based ligands in catalysis.
