Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiparasitic and antifungal agents. Its structure supports activity in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of bromine and the benzimidazole core, which are known for biological activity. Employed in research for designing new bioactive molecules and in the preparation of ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions. Also applied in the study of heterocyclic compounds for potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory drugs.
