Used primarily 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 modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs that target specific signaling pathways. It is also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules with potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to the presence of bromo and fluoro substituents, it serves as a versatile building block in cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of complex heterocyclic systems in drug discovery research.
