Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and bioactive compounds with specific therapeutic or pesticidal properties. It plays a role in the production of compounds targeting inflammation, pain, or other medical conditions, as well as in agrochemical applications. Additionally, it is utilized in organic chemistry research for the creation of complex molecules through coupling reactions or functional group transformations. Its bromine at the 3-position, methyl groups at the 2- and 6-positions, and carboxylic acid group make it a versatile building block for designing and modifying chemical structures in drug discovery, agrochemical development, and material science applications.
