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 stable heterocyclic structures that interact with biological targets. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
