Used in pharmaceutical research as a building block for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. It serves as an intermediate in the production of drugs targeting neurological disorders, such as anxiety and depression, due to its structural similarity to bioactive amines. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis to create novel chemical entities for drug discovery and medicinal chemistry studies. Its bromophenyl group makes it a valuable precursor for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse aromatic compounds.
