Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The biphenyl core with bromo and nitro functional groups enables selective transformations, such as further cross-coupling reactions (e.g., utilizing the bromo group), nucleophilic substitutions, reduction of the nitro group to amine, or copper-catalyzed reactions. This versatility makes it valuable for constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in research and development of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates, antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, and functional materials.
