Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of both bromo and amino functional groups, which allow for further derivatization through cross-coupling reactions or amide formation. Commonly employed in research settings to design compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and pain management. Its ester group facilitates modification to enhance bioavailability or alter pharmacokinetic properties in drug candidates.
