Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine structure. Its bromo and ethyl functional groups allow for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides, where it contributes to the biological activity of the final compound. Also utilized in research laboratories for the preparation of more complex molecules through coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions.
