Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitro group allows for further functionalization, such as reduction to an amine, enabling the construction of more complex molecules. The bromopropoxy chain acts as a linker, making it useful in the development of functionalized aromatic compounds for use in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Commonly employed in reactions involving nucleophilic substitution due to the reactive bromide moiety.
