Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring brominated aromatic scaffolds. Its aldehyde and amine functional groups allow for versatile chemical transformations, such as condensation reactions to form Schiff bases, which are useful in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in the production of dyes and fluorescent probes due to its ability to participate in conjugation and enhance photophysical properties. Also utilized in research settings for the development of novel organic materials and sensors.
