Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of biologically active compounds, including kinase inhibitors and central nervous system therapeutics. Its bromo and amino functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling and substitution reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Also employed in the design of agrochemicals and heterocyclic compounds due to its versatile reactivity.
