Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. Its bromo and amino functional groups allow for selective reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions to build biaryl structures. Also utilized in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients where halogenated anilines serve as key building blocks. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and handling during industrial processes.
