Used in organic synthesis as a brominating agent, particularly in the selective bromination of aromatic compounds. Its reactivity allows for controlled introduction of bromine atoms, which are useful as intermediates in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Commonly employed in the preparation of brominated spirocyclic structures due to its stability and selectivity under mild reaction conditions. Also utilized in research settings for developing novel bioactive molecules where bromine serves as a synthetic handle for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions.
