2-Bromopropanoyl chloride is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, where it is used to prepare α-bromo esters, amides, and other substituted propionic acid derivatives through acylation reactions. It is also widely applied in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other biologically active compounds as a key building block in specialty chemical production.
