Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromine atoms allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products. Also employed in the production of flame retardants due to the high bromine content, which helps suppress combustion in polymers and plastics. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of functionalized pyridine derivatives used in materials science and medicinal chemistry.
