Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports the development of compounds active against resistant strains. Also employed in research for designing new bioactive molecules due to the reactivity of the bromo and nitro groups on the furan ring. Shows utility in agrochemicals for creating pesticides with enhanced efficacy. Limited use in material science for constructing heterocyclic polymers.
