Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of nitrophenol-based active ingredients. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where selective bromination and nitro functional groups are required. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes, pigments, and UV stabilizers due to its aromatic structure and reactivity. Also utilized in research for the modification of biologically active compounds, enabling the introduction of bromine at specific positions for further functionalization.
