Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the construction of more complex structures for drug discovery. Its bromophenyl group allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its stable oxadiazole core and reactive handle for modification.
