Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the ability of halogens to modulate lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides where halogenated pyridine cores enhance biological activity.
