Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in aromatic interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required. Its bromine functionality allows for further modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling diverse molecular diversification in drug discovery programs.
