Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to introduce indazole motifs into larger bioactive molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides with improved stability and activity. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups enable further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enhancing its versatility in medicinal chemistry.
