Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules. The presence of both bromo and ester-like functionalities enables cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions, commonly employed in drug development. It may also serve in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory agents or other bioactive compounds where aromatic and carboxylic acid derivatives play a key role.
