Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for incorporation into heterocyclic systems, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing rings. Commonly employed in the preparation of triazole and indole derivatives through cyclization reactions. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds with potential biological activity. Suitable for coupling reactions in drug discovery due to the presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents, which enable further functionalization via cross-coupling techniques.
