Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. It serves as a building block for dopamine and serotonin receptor modulators due to its substituted phenyl structure with amine functionality. Commonly employed in the preparation of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and migraine treatments. Its bromo and methoxy groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals and functional dyes where aromatic amine derivatives are required.
