Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require pyrrolidine-based structures. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the production of neuroactive drugs, including those targeting central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the preparation of chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis, enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of drug manufacturing processes.
