Used in organic synthesis as a building block for more complex chemical compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure, featuring a cyclobutane ring and a bromophenyl group, makes it valuable for creating molecules with specific biological activities. It can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, especially those targeting receptors or enzymes where the bromophenyl moiety enhances binding affinity. Additionally, it is utilized in research for studying cyclobutane ring systems and their reactivity in various chemical reactions.
