Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients in crop protection products and certain drug compounds. The bromine atom facilitates coupling reactions, particularly in palladium-catalyzed processes like Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. It may also serve in the development of specialty polymers or as a building block in research laboratories for designing novel organic compounds.
