Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in constructing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of the bromine atom, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, including potential antifungal and anticancer agents. Serves as a building block in materials science for designing conjugated systems in organic electronics.
