Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity allows for the formation of urea and urethane derivatives, which are key structural motifs in bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to modify molecular activity in target compounds. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing small molecule inhibitors, particularly in research targeting enzyme modulation. The bromine substituent enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enhancing its utility in complex molecule assembly.
