Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with high target specificity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Negishi couplings to build complex aromatic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients in crop protection agents. Its bromine moiety facilitates easy substitution, enabling efficient derivatization in multi-step organic syntheses.
