Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of advanced organic molecules requiring biphenyl scaffolds. Its bromo and amine functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex structures. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Buchwald–Hartwig reactions to form carbon–carbon and carbon–nitrogen bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of liquid crystals and organic semiconductors due to its rigid aromatic framework and functional versatility.
