Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a role in the development of active ingredients for drugs, including potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. Additionally, it is utilized in research for creating complex molecules through coupling reactions or functional group transformations. Its bromine atom makes it a valuable reagent for further chemical modifications, such as nucleophilic substitutions or metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
