Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the construction of complex molecules through coupling reactions, making it valuable in drug discovery. The bromine functionality allows for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The amine group can be modified or used to enhance solubility and binding properties in biologically active compounds. It is also employed in the synthesis of functionalized heterocyclic compounds, which are common scaffolds in medicinal chemistry.
