Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile and printing industries. It also serves in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive amine and bromine functionalities. Additionally, it is employed in the development of specialty chemicals such as photographic materials and antioxidants. Its brominated structure makes it useful in further halogen exchange reactions for creating complex organic molecules.
