Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for constructing more complex molecules due to the presence of both bromo and nitro functional groups, which are reactive sites for substitution and reduction reactions. Commonly employed in the development of dyes and pigments, where it contributes to color stability and molecular diversity. Also utilized in research settings for the synthesis of nitrophenol-based sensors and bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties.
