Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its structure contains multiple reactive sites—bromine and nitro groups—that allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including potential antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of substituted benzoate derivatives and heterocyclic compounds. The ester group facilitates further functionalization or hydrolysis, adding versatility in synthetic pathways.
