Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig to introduce aryl or amino groups. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy. Its bromine moiety facilitates further derivatization, enabling rapid exploration of chemical space in medicinal chemistry campaigns.
