Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating active ingredients with pest control properties. Its bromo and carboxylic acid functional groups allow for easy modification in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of pyrazole-based heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity.
