Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acid derivatives with biological activity. Its bromine substituents allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic compounds for drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules in medicinal chemistry research. Also utilized in the design of novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance molecular diversity and binding selectivity.
