Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form biologically active heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in research for designing drugs targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new crop protection agents. Its bromine functionality allows for easy coupling reactions, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening.
