Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the production of bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of antimalarial and anticancer agents. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions due to the presence of the bromine atom, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the synthesis of ligands for metal catalysts and in materials science for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Its hydrochloride form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for use in various reaction conditions.
