Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex organic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to introduce aromatic or substituted aromatic moieties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for building blocks in crop protection agents. The presence of both bromo and ether functionalities enables versatile reactivity under mild conditions, suitable for late-stage modifications in medicinal chemistry.
