Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, this compound enables the formation of complex urea and carbamate derivatives through its reactive isocyanate group. Its selectivity and stability under controlled conditions make it valuable in constructing bioactive molecules, especially in the development of herbicides and fungicides. The presence of the bromo and methyl substituents enhances its utility in cross-coupling reactions, allowing further functionalization during multi-step syntheses. It is also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and photoactive materials where precise molecular architecture is required.
