Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both bromo and nitro functional groups, which are reactive sites for substitution and reduction reactions. Commonly employed in the development of dyes and pigments because of its aromatic nitro structure. Also utilized in research laboratories for the construction of more complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic aromatic substitutions.
