Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. It plays a role in the preparation of complex molecules, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals. Its bromo and ester functional groups make it valuable for coupling reactions and the construction of carbon chains. Additionally, it is employed in the development of polymers and materials with specific properties, such as controlled release systems or coatings. Its stability and reactivity make it a useful building block in research and industrial applications.
