Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its bromoethyl functional group allows for easy alkylation or coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyrazole-based drugs targeting inflammation, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and selectivity.
