Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of cyano-substituted compounds with biological activity. It serves in the preparation of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromo and cyano functional groups, which allow further chemical transformations. Its amide structure facilitates solubility and stability in various reaction conditions, making it suitable for use in multi-step organic syntheses. Also employed in research settings for the construction of heterocyclic compounds and functionalized nitriles.
