Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the reactivity of the bromine atom, enabling cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to form more complex aromatic compounds. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals and dyes. Its carboxylic acid group allows for salt formation, useful in separation processes or in modifying solubility for drug delivery.
