2-Bromofuran is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its bromine functionality allows it to participate in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Negishi couplings, enabling the construction of complex furan-containing molecules. It is valuable in the development of bioactive compounds, including antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of advanced materials and functionalized heterocycles used in crop protection chemicals and medicinal research. Its reactivity and ability to introduce the furan ring into larger structures make it a useful reagent in modern synthetic chemistry.
