Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to undergo selective substitutions at the bromine site, enabling the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in research for designing bioactive molecules with antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides. Its structural features make it valuable in solid-phase synthesis and combinatorial chemistry.
