Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of brominated pyridine derivatives with biological activity. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients for crop protection products and medicinal compounds. Also employed in research for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential antifungal, antibacterial, or kinase-inhibiting properties. The presence of multiple bromine atoms facilitates cross-coupling reactions in advanced organic synthesis.
