This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows it to participate in reactions that form complex molecules, particularly in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its reactivity and ability to introduce bromine atoms into target molecules. Additionally, it finds application in research and development for creating novel compounds with potential biological activities. Its role in cross-coupling reactions makes it valuable in constructing advanced chemical frameworks.
