Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule assembly. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to the stability and reactivity of the dichloropyridine scaffold.
