Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both carboxylic acid and bromine functionalities, which allow further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in organic synthesis for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, to build complex aromatic structures. Also utilized in the development of dyes, functional materials, and specialty polymers where brominated aromatic building blocks are required.
