Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also utilized in the formation of heterocyclic compounds due to the reactivity of the formamide group and the bromine substituent, which serves as a leaving group in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
