Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building bioactive molecules. It is also employed in research settings to design compounds with potential antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. The compound’s bromine substituents enable cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the creation of diverse chemical libraries for drug discovery.
