Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups—amino, bromo, and ester—allow for selective modifications, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in coupling reactions and cyclization processes to form benzoxazole or benzimidazole derivatives with potential therapeutic activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing substituents and structural stability.
