Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It serves as a building block for bioactive molecules due to the presence of reactive bromine and amide functional groups. Commonly employed in alkylation and substitution reactions to construct complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Its cyclic structure and reactivity make it valuable in the development of medicinal agents, including neuroactive and antimicrobial substances. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of pyrrolidine-based derivatives with potential therapeutic applications.
