Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a role in the construction of complex molecules for drug discovery, especially in the creation of compounds targeting neurological and oncological diseases. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Its nitrile and bromo groups make it a versatile building block in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of functional groups for further chemical modifications.
