Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the development of more complex chemical compounds. It plays a role in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of molecules with potential therapeutic properties. The bromine atom in its structure makes it a valuable building block for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, which are essential in drug discovery and material science. Additionally, its trimethoxy groups contribute to its utility in designing compounds with specific electronic or steric properties, often applied in agrochemical research for developing new pesticides or herbicides.
