Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Negishi couplings to introduce the 6-fluoropyridin-2-yl moiety, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target proteins. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
