Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring substituted benzaldehyde derivatives. Its amino and bromo functional groups allow for selective reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes, fluorescent probes, and heterocyclic compounds due to its reactivity in coupling and condensation reactions. Also utilized in research for developing new bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial or anticancer properties.
