Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow for selective substitutions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds during active ingredient formulation. Also utilized in research for designing new bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties.
