Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Its functional groups—bromo, fluoro, nitro, and carboxylic acid—allow for sequential transformations, enabling coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and reductions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules where selective derivatization is required. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and specialty organic materials due to its electron-withdrawing group arrangement.
