Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with specific biological activities. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to produce herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for designing molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and infectious diseases. Its halogenated pyridine core provides a versatile scaffold for further chemical modifications, enhancing its utility in drug discovery and agrochemical research.
