Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where selective bromination and nitro functionality are required. Its dual bromo groups allow for sequential substitution reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized aromatic compounds for materials science and in the development of active ingredients in crop protection chemicals.
