Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the preparation of complex molecules due to the reactivity of the bromine atom, which readily participates in coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also utilized in the synthesis of functional materials and specialty polymers where halogenated aromatics enhance material properties.
