Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of pyridine-based compounds with potential biological activity. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex molecules where bromine and methoxy functional groups facilitate further chemical transformations. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients in crop protection agents. Its reactivity makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in advanced organic synthesis.
