Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The structure features an amino group at the 2-position, a bromo substituent at the 5-position, and a phenyl ester, enabling further functionalization through reactions at the amino, bromo, and ester groups. This versatility makes it valuable for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel heterocyclic compounds via cyclization reactions, and as a building block for dyes or fluorescent probes in biochemical analysis.
