Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Commonly employed in coupling reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing new pesticides with enhanced activity. Its bromine functionality allows for easy modification through cross-coupling reactions, enabling rapid diversification in compound libraries for screening.
