Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and neuroactive compounds. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in drug discovery for central nervous system disorders and cancer therapies. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the bromine moiety, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
