Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and COX-2 inhibitors. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex aromatic frameworks. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and heterocyclic compounds for medicinal research. The bromo and amino functional groups enable coupling reactions, useful in drug discovery and development pipelines.
