Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fungicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for selective reactivity, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems. It is also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules where bromine atoms serve as sites for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Due to its stability and reactivity profile, it is favored in medicinal chemistry for lead optimization and in crop protection research for designing new active ingredients.
