Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammation. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for developing herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and bioactivity. Also employed in the preparation of functional materials and ligands for catalytic reactions in organic synthesis. Its bromine substituents allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in research and development of new chemical entities.
