Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amine and amide functional groups, which readily participate in cyclization reactions. Commonly employed in the manufacture of selective kinase inhibitors and receptor antagonists. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating novel herbicides and pesticides. Its bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structural diversification.
