Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure is valuable for constructing complex molecules, especially those containing thiadiazole rings, which are known for their biological activity. It is also employed in the preparation of compounds with potential antimicrobial, antiviral, or anticancer properties. The bromine atom in the molecule allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry research.
