Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Its bromine substituents allow for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the development of complex aromatic compounds. Also employed in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and functional materials where methoxy-substituted aromatic systems are required.
