Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of compounds with antibacterial and antifungal properties. It plays a role in the preparation of complex molecules for drug discovery, especially in the modification of pyridine derivatives to enhance biological activity. Additionally, it is employed in the production of ligands for catalytic processes and in the creation of specialty chemicals for research and industrial applications. Its brominated structure makes it valuable for further functionalization in organic synthesis.
