Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of receptor antagonists and kinase inhibitors. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing biologically active molecules due to its ability to act as a building block in cross-coupling reactions. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in the design of compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Its bromo and ether functionalities allow for further functionalization, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship studies.
