Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules due to the presence of reactive functional groups that allow for further derivatization. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyrazole-based compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial properties. Its bromo and carboxamide moieties facilitate coupling reactions and hydrogen bonding interactions, enhancing its utility in drug design and optimization.
