Used in organic synthesis as a building block for more complex molecules, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as an intermediate in the production of compounds with potential biological activity, such as inhibitors or modulators for specific enzymes or receptors. Its bromine atoms make it a versatile reagent for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse chemical structures. Additionally, it may be employed in material science for the design of specialty chemicals or functional materials.
