2-Chloro-6-formylbenzonitrile serves as a key building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly for kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its reactive formyl and cyano groups facilitate condensation and cyclization reactions to construct quinazolines, benzimidazoles, and other N-heterocycles. Researchers also utilize it in palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings for biaryl formation. Suitable for small-scale R&D and process chemistry optimization.
