Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents. Also employed in the preparation of substituted aromatic compounds used in research laboratories for drug discovery and material science applications. The carboxylic acid group enables esterification or amidation, while the bromine atom facilitates palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions.
