Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the preparation of substituted aromatic compounds. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow for sequential transformations, such as nucleophilic aromatic substitution and reduction reactions. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and in the construction of complex molecules for medicinal chemistry research. Also serves as a building block in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where halogenated nitrobenzenes are required.
