Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of thiophene-based drug candidates. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients. The bromine moiety enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, making it valuable in building complex heterocyclic systems.
