Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its thiazole structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in crop protection chemistry. Also employed in medicinal chemistry research for constructing thiazole-based compounds with potential pharmacological activity, such as antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory agents. The bromo and ester functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the formation of more complex derivatives for screening in drug discovery and plant science applications.
