Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring substituted aromatic rings. Its functional groups—bromo, methoxy, methyl, and nitro—allow for selective reactions such as nucleophilic substitution, reduction, and coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of dyes, functional materials, and fine chemicals where controlled substitution patterns are essential.
