Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of reactive functional groups. The bromine atom allows for further transformations via cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic structures. Its pyrrolidine ring introduces a secondary amine functionality, useful in the synthesis of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and other therapeutic areas. Also employed in the research of novel heterocyclic compounds for potential use in medicinal chemistry and agrochemicals.
