Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a building block for the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromine and ether functional groups. The bromine allows for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The cyclopentyloxy group contributes to lipophilicity and can influence the biological activity of final compounds. Commonly employed in the development of drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions.
