Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based drugs. Its functional groups allow for selective substitutions, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients. Commonly employed in research laboratories for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for developing crop protection agents. The presence of bromo, chloro, and nitro groups enables sequential reactions, facilitating the introduction of various moieties in drug discovery pathways.
