Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting neurological and inflammatory disorders. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the ease of functionalization at the bromo site. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
