Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug design, making it valuable in creating compounds with central nervous system activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and medicinal agents where a brominated pyridine scaffold is required for target binding. The amine group facilitates coupling reactions, enabling rapid diversification in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening campaigns.
