Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromine and amide functional groups. The compound is particularly valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, where the bromine atom acts as a reactive site. Its furan ring structure contributes to electronic properties useful in the development of heterocyclic compounds with potential medicinal activity. Also explored in the design of novel fungicides and kinase inhibitors.
