Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Its functional groups enable selective transformations in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients for crop protection agents and in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug molecules. The presence of both bromo and nitro groups allows for cross-coupling reactions and subsequent reduction to amines, facilitating the creation of diverse chemical libraries for biological screening.
