Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antiviral agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules due to the presence of the bromine atom, which allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies in oncology research. Its structural motif is found in compounds that modulate enzyme activity and cellular signaling pathways. Additionally, it is used in the development of fluorescent materials or optoelectronic devices requiring stable aromatic structures with moderate conductivity properties.
