Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, 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. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting EGFR, BRAF, and other tyrosine kinase pathways. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity. Its bromine functionality allows for efficient functionalization via Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, making it valuable in high-throughput drug discovery and library synthesis.
