Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where the acetamide group, bromo substituent, and methoxy group allow for further functionalization. The compound is valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing more complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions. It may also find use in the preparation of dyes and functional materials due to its aromatic, halogenated, and methoxy-substituted structure.
