Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block for azo dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, enabling coupling reactions that yield colored compounds. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals, including polymer stabilizers and additives, where the bromine atom allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Its substituted aniline structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules.
