(4-bromophenyl)(1H-indol-7-yl)methanone

It serves as a precursor to the benzoyl-indole structure, which is subsequently oxidized and modified to form the final 2-amino-3-benzoylphenylacetic acid structure of bromfenac. (4-bromophenyl)(1H-indol-7-yl)methanone is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) bromfenac.
