Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of brominated aromatic compounds with biological activity. It serves in the development of certain flame retardants due to the presence of bromine atoms, which enhance fire resistance in polymers and resins. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where the amino and phenolic groups allow for coupling reactions and structural modifications. Its reactivity makes it suitable for use in organic synthesis, especially in the formation of heterocyclic compounds.
