Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the creation of selective receptor modulators, making it valuable in the research of antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. The presence of bromo and fluoro substituents allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic frameworks found in bioactive molecules. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its amine center and halogenated aromatic ring, which influence binding affinity and metabolic stability.
