Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form C–C and C–N bonds, it contributes to the synthesis of potential antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in materials science for constructing conjugated systems in organic electronics due to its aromatic stability and bromine reactivity.
