Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules due to its heterocyclic structure. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for designing kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes with potential catalytic or luminescent properties. Its bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the synthesis of more complex quinoline derivatives.
