Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of selective receptor modulators. Its bromo and amine functional groups allow for easy modification through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds, including kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and liquid crystals due to its rigid biphenyl backbone and electronic properties.
