Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds with biological activity. Its structure supports the creation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where halogen and amino groups are needed for further coupling reactions. The compound’s selective substitution pattern makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald–Hartwig aminations for building complex molecules.
