Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in multi-step organic reactions, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex aromatic systems. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where bromoaniline derivatives serve as key building blocks.
