Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated pyridine structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-withdrawing properties and stability.
