Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for introducing bromoacetamide functionality, enabling further derivatization through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Commonly employed in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and bioactive molecules due to its reactivity and functional group compatibility. Also utilized in the development of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal chemistry applications where controlled alkylation is required.
