Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromo and nitro functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, such as nucleophilic substitution and reduction reactions. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and in the synthesis of certain drug candidates, especially those requiring substituted aromatic rings with ether linkages. Also utilized in research settings for building complex molecules through cross-coupling or cyclization reactions.
