Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acid derivatives with potential biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological pathways. Its bromo and ester functionalities allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
