Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Its brominated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex pyrimidine derivatives. It is also employed in the preparation of functional materials and ligands for catalysis due to its ability to undergo selective substitutions at the bromine sites.
