Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of antimalarial and anticancer agents. Its bromo and amino functional groups allow for further derivatization through cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal-catalyzed reactions. Shows potential in materials science for designing fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials due to the quinoline backbone’s photophysical properties.
