Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its brominated structure enables selective reactivity in coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of bromine-containing active ingredients. It also serves in pharmaceutical research for constructing nitrogen- and halogen-functionalized heterocycles, which are important in drug design. The amine and ester groups allow for easy modification, facilitating the creation of derivative compounds for biological screening.
