This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as a building block for more complex molecules. It serves as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic properties. Its structure, featuring both a bromine atom and a methoxy group, makes it valuable for creating specialized organic compounds used in drug research and development. Additionally, it can be employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of pesticides or herbicides. Its reactivity also allows it to be used in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where its aromatic amine group plays a key role in color formation.
