Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. It serves as a building block in the development of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine and phenolic structure, which allows for azo coupling reactions. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functionalized polymers where bromine acts as a site for further chemical modification through cross-coupling reactions. Its amino and hydroxyl groups enable derivatization for use in sensor compounds and ligands in catalysis.
