Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors due to the quinoline core’s affinity for enzyme active sites. Its bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Also employed in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in materials science for designing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential optoelectronic properties.
