Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization in multi-step reactions, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules. The presence of both nitro and amino groups makes it suitable for reduction and coupling reactions, enabling the production of complex aromatic amines. It is also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments where bromine acts as a directing group or reactive site for substitution. Due to its substituted aniline core, it can serve as a building block in the creation of specialty chemicals requiring selective reactivity.
