Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules due to the presence of reactive bromine and heterocyclic thiazole ring. Commonly employed in agrochemicals for designing pesticides and herbicides, where it contributes to enhanced stability and target specificity. Also utilized in research for constructing complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Heck reactions.
