Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound plays a key role in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. It is also employed in the synthesis of potential antimicrobial and antitumor agents due to the presence of both bromo and nitro groups, which can participate in substitution and reduction reactions. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for constructing more complex molecules with biological activity.
