Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the construction of complex aromatic systems through cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions. The presence of bromine allows for metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the formation of biaryl compounds. The nitro and methoxy groups offer sites for reduction or further functionalization, making it valuable in the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for designing compounds with potential biological activity.
