Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinamide-based drugs targeting neurological and inflammatory conditions. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Also employed in the creation of agrochemicals, especially as a precursor in the production of selective pesticides and herbicides. Its structure supports the design of bioactive compounds with improved stability and target specificity.
