Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceutical compounds. It plays a role in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromo and amide functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex aromatic structures. Also explored in the synthesis of potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents owing to the furan ring's biological relevance. Its reactivity makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry research for designing new drug candidates.
