Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to undergo cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Its bromo and amine functional groups allow for selective modifications, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates for improved potency and selectivity. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
