Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of compounds with biological activity. Its biphenyl core substituted with reactive bromo, nitro, and amino groups allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions (via bromo), nitro reduction to additional amine, and other transformations, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive targets. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel organic materials, such as in organic electronics, and ligands for catalysis.
