Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a role in constructing complex organic molecules, especially in the production of heterocyclic compounds. Its structure is valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs targeting various diseases. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemical research for developing new pesticides or herbicides. Its halogenated pyridine core makes it useful in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse chemical libraries for drug discovery.
