Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients that require functionalized thiophene rings. Its bromine group allows for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and certain drug candidates due to the stability and bioavailability imparted by the thiophene core. Also utilized in materials science for creating conductive polymers and organic semiconductors.
