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 undergo coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex indazole-based structures with biological activity. Its amine and bromo functional groups allow for selective modifications, making it valuable in drug discovery programs targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Also employed in research settings to develop novel bioactive molecules and probe structure-activity relationships in indazole derivatives.
