Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Its structure supports cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of complex heterocyclic compounds for research in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in the fabrication of organic semiconductors and electronic materials due to the electron-withdrawing nitrile group and the stability of the brominated thiophene core.
