Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports the construction of heterocyclic compounds found in bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with potential antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to its bromine functionality and amino ester group, which allow for diverse chemical transformations.
