Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromine and benzimidazole moieties, which are common in compounds with antimicrobial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Employed in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, to build complex aromatic systems for drug discovery and materials science. Also investigated for use in the synthesis of ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions.
