Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the presence of both bromo and carboxylic acid functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. The compound is particularly valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. It also finds use in the development of biologically active compounds, including antifungal and antibacterial agents, thanks to the furan ring’s inherent bioactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of specialty polymers and functional materials where halogenated aromatic structures are required.
