Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with biological activity. It serves as a building block in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactivity in cross-coupling reactions. Also employed in the production of dyes and functional materials where nitro and bromo functionalities enable further chemical modifications. Its structure supports use in research for novel heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry.
