Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring brominated aromatic scaffolds. Its amino and carboxylic acid functional groups allow for coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes, pigments, and specialty polymers where bromine substitution enhances stability or reactivity. Also utilized in research for designing bioactive compounds and in the production of certain photographic chemicals.
