Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromo and carboxylic acid functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, especially in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with biological activity. Also utilized in the preparation of pyrazole derivatives, which are known for their medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
