Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing. It serves as a building block for constructing more complex molecules due to the presence of both ester and bromo functional groups, which allow for further chemical transformations such as cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and in the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds for medicinal chemistry research. Its structure facilitates selective modifications, making it valuable in the design of new drug candidates.
