This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a key building block in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target specific biological pathways. Additionally, its brominated structure makes it valuable in the creation of compounds with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties. It is also employed in research settings for studying chemical reactions involving halogenated aromatic compounds, aiding in the development of new synthetic methodologies.
