Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its aromatic and heterocyclic structure, enabling the creation of novel drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides. Its bromo substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
