Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, this compound plays a key role in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the construction of more complex heterocyclic systems, particularly in the design of bioactive molecules. The presence of bromine allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs in drug discovery programs. It is also employed in the synthesis of nitroaromatic compounds with potential applications in materials science and as building blocks for pesticides.
