Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring halogenated aromatic structures. Its functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in research laboratories for the preparation of substituted benzene derivatives used in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. Also utilized in the production of specialty polymers and electronic materials where brominated aromatics enhance thermal and oxidative stability.
