Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating targeted drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromine moiety, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule assembly. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
