Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in the development of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer activity. Also utilized in research settings for labeling and probe development due to the reactivity of the bromo and nitro groups.
