Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in drug discovery for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromo substituent, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in advanced synthetic pathways. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new active ingredients with targeted activity.
