Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive quinoline derivatives. Shows potential in the development of antimicrobial and anticancer agents due to the quinoline core’s affinity for biological targets. Also employed in organic synthesis to build complex heterocyclic systems, particularly in the design of kinase inhibitors and receptor antagonists. Its bromo and ester functional groups allow for further chemical modifications via cross-coupling reactions and hydrolysis, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
