Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules. Its functional groups—bromo, nitro, and nitrile—allow for selective transformations, making it valuable in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Commonly employed in the preparation of substituted aromatic compounds for drug discovery and in the construction of heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in materials science for designing electron-deficient aromatic building blocks.
