Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its bromine substituents allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating diverse compound libraries for drug discovery.
