Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its structure allows for further functionalization through reactions such as cross-coupling, reduction, and nucleophilic substitution. The presence of both a bromine atom and an ester group makes it valuable for building complex cyclic compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules, including drug candidates containing substituted cyclohexane rings. Also utilized in research settings to develop new synthetic routes and study reaction mechanisms involving brominated cyclic esters.
