Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fungicides and insecticides. Its reactive bromine groups allow for selective coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in Suzuki and other palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds in active ingredient formulations. Also utilized in research for developing novel nicotinamide-based bioactive molecules.
