Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where the amino and ester functional groups allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers due to its bromine substituent, which facilitates coupling reactions. Also utilized in research laboratories for the design of novel bioactive compounds and in the production of fine chemicals requiring selective functionalization on aromatic rings.
