Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with insecticidal, fungicidal, or herbicidal properties. Its nitrile and bromo functional groups allow for versatile chemical transformations, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, it plays a role in the preparation of pyrazole-based drug candidates. Also utilized in research settings for the design of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents targeting inflammatory and oncological pathways.
