Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form substituted heterocyclic structures with biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of potent and selective inhibitors targeting enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways. Its bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling rapid diversification during drug discovery. Also utilized in the creation of agrochemicals and in research for novel bioactive molecules.
