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 agrochemicals as well, where it contributes to the creation of novel pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and selectivity. The presence of bromine and fluorine atoms enables fine-tuning of electronic and steric properties in target molecules, enhancing their biological activity and metabolic stability.
