Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its brominated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, particularly in the development of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty chemicals where bromine functionality is required for further derivatization. Its reactivity allows for selective substitutions, making it useful in fine chemical synthesis and research laboratories.
