Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of heterocyclic compounds with potential antimicrobial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to build fused ring systems due to the reactivity of the bromo and nitrile functional groups. Also utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions for constructing complex molecules in medicinal chemistry research.
