Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and functionalized polymers. Its bromine functionality allows for further coupling reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions or metal-catalyzed cross-couplings, enabling the introduction of the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protected alcohol moiety into larger molecules. Commonly employed in the development of complex bioactive compounds where controlled reactivity and protection of alcohols are required. Also finds use in the synthesis of specialty monomers for advanced materials.
