Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug molecules, enhancing binding affinity and metabolic stability. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to improve bioactivity and environmental persistence. Commonly utilized in research settings for the construction of complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, where the bromo and amino groups serve as reactive handles.
