Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require substituted benzene rings with amine functionalities. Its bromo and diamine groups allow for selective functionalization through cross-coupling reactions and electrophilic substitutions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and fluorescent probes due to its ability to undergo derivatization for optical applications.
