Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring selective substitution patterns on aromatic rings. Its functional groups—bromo, nitro, and methoxy—allow for sequential transformations via cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, or reductions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of dyes, functional materials, and bioactive compounds.
