Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and drug candidates targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. The bromo and chloro substituents enable sequential substitution, facilitating the introduction of diverse moieties during multi-step syntheses.
