Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization in heterocyclic chemistry, making it valuable in creating pyrazole, triazole, and other nitrogen-containing ring systems found in bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the bromine handle enabling cross-coupling reactions. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
