Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its functional groups—bromo, ester, and carboxylic acid—allow for selective reactions such as nucleophilic substitution and ester hydrolysis. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules where controlled derivatization is required. The compound’s structure supports carbon-chain elongation and cyclization processes, making it valuable in constructing complex organic frameworks.
