Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anxiolytic and sedative agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of triazolopyrimidine derivatives, which exhibit biological activity as central nervous system depressants. Also applied in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and binding affinity. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
