Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive bromine site and stable pyridine backbone. Its ethoxy and methyl groups aid in tuning lipophilicity and bioavailability in active ingredients. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules through cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Commonly utilized in R&D settings for building complex heterocyclic systems.
