Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the construction of complex heterocyclic systems found in certain receptor modulators. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in the preparation of potential antipsychotic or neuroprotective agents. Also utilized in research settings for structure-activity relationship studies due to the bromo functional group, which allows further derivatization via cross-coupling reactions.
