Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its functional groups—bromo, chloro, and nitro—allow for selective substitutions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the development of bioactive compounds, including potential antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory agents. The ester group facilitates further derivatization, enabling its use in multi-step synthetic pathways.
