Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Commonly employed in the production of flame retardants due to the presence of bromine atoms, which enhance fire resistance in polymers and plastics. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and other brominated compounds. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions for the development of complex aromatic structures. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization in research and industrial applications.
