Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential cardiovascular and central nervous system activity. Its chroman structure supports the creation of chroman-based derivatives, which are found in antioxidants, receptor modulators, and anti-inflammatory agents. The bromine substituent at the 6-position facilitates further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of diverse analogs for structure-activity relationship studies. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic frameworks in drug discovery programs.
