Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Shows potential in studies related to central nervous system disorders due to its ability to modulate neuronal receptors. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modifications via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
