Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with targeted biological activity. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to build complex molecules due to the presence of both amino and ester groups, which are reactive handles for amide bond formation or nucleophilic substitution. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and dyes where brominated aromatic compounds serve as precursors for coupling reactions.
