Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex drug-like molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic framework. Its bromine functionality enables easy modification, facilitating rapid exploration of structure-activity relationships in medicinal chemistry.
