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 substituted heterocyclic structures with biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer agents. Its bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of various substituents to optimize drug potency and selectivity.
