Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in heterocyclic compound construction, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals where brominated aromatic scaffolds are required for further coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the formation of complex organic molecules.
