Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of certain fungicides and plant growth regulators due to its reactive bromine atoms, which allow for easy functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products. Also utilized in research laboratories for the preparation of more complex pyridine derivatives with biological activity. Its methyl group provides a site for further chemical modification, enhancing its versatility in organic synthesis.
