Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its structure supports the development of kinase inhibitors and enzyme modulators due to the presence of reactive bromo and hydroxyl groups. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorescent probes and labeled compounds for biochemical assays. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, particularly in the design of adrenergic receptor ligands. Suitable for conjugation reactions via the amine and phenolic functional groups, enabling attachment to biomolecules or solid supports.
