Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its halogen and nitro functional groups that enhance biological activity. Its structure allows for further derivatization in the production of dyes and pigments, especially in azo dye synthesis where the amine group enables diazotization. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of novel bioactive compounds, including kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. The presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents offers sites for cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules.
