Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves in the preparation of bioactive molecules for neurological research, including compounds targeting cognitive disorders and neuropathic pain. Its functional groups—amino, bromo, and hydroxymethyl—enable selective derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with targeted activity.
