Used as a mild and selective brominating agent in organic synthesis, particularly for the bromination of electron-rich aromatic compounds and alkenes. It enables controlled introduction of bromine atoms without excessive polybromination, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. Its stability and solubility in polar organic solvents allow for easy handling and use in anhydrous conditions. Commonly employed in the preparation of brominated intermediates for agrochemicals, dyes, and bioactive molecules.
