Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic structures. Its bromo-substituted aromatic ring allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery research. Also employed in the preparation of analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
