Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antifungal, antibacterial, or anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure supports cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex aromatic ketones. Also employed in the preparation of organic semiconductors and functional materials due to the presence of bromine and heteroaromatic moieties that facilitate further chemical modifications.
