Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of drugs targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders. It serves as a building block in the development of selective receptor modulators due to its ability to form stable carbon-heteroatom bonds in cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Also utilized in materials science for constructing nitrogen-containing organic semiconductors and ligands for metal-organic frameworks. Its bromine functionality allows for easy functionalization via palladium-catalyzed reactions, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery pipelines.
