Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex pyridine-based compounds. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions to introduce functional groups in drug discovery programs. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
