Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring substituted aromatic rings. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow for sequential substitution reactions, enabling the introduction of various side chains in drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes and functionalized organic compounds where controlled reactivity and regioselectivity are needed. Also utilized in research settings for constructing complex molecules via cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions.
