Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromine and amine functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals and dyes, where its heterocyclic structure contributes to enhanced stability and reactivity. Its derivatives are investigated for use in fluorescent probes and materials science applications owing to their electronic properties.
