Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromine moiety, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds. Also explored in the synthesis of potential receptor agonists or antagonists owing to the amine and chroman functionalities.
