Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Commonly employed in the preparation of antitumor agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel bioactive molecules and in the discovery of targeted therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Its bromine substituents allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship studies.
