Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors. Plays a role in the development of potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents due to its ability to modulate signaling pathways. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy. Its bromine functionality allows for further derivatization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems.
