Used primarily in organic synthesis, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure, featuring a bromine atom and a nitrile group, makes it valuable for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, enabling the creation of complex molecules. It is also employed in the development of bioactive compounds, particularly in the design of drugs targeting neurological disorders or as a building block for crop protection agents. Its cyclopropyl group enhances stability and influences the pharmacokinetic properties of the final products.
