Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports the formation of selective receptor ligands, making it valuable in the research of neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and Parkinson’s disease. The bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of diverse chemical groups during drug optimization. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
