Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fungicides and insecticides. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules due to the presence of reactive bromo and carboxylic acid groups, enabling further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in coupling reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems found in crop protection agents. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for its potential in developing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compounds.
