Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for developing antimicrobials, antioxidants, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. The presence of multiple functional groups, such as nitro, amino, and bromo, enables diverse reactions including reduction of the nitro group to additional amino functionalities and substitution of the bromine via copper-catalyzed processes. Its structure, including the tert-butyl substituent, supports further functionalization in organic synthesis, making it valuable for creating complex aromatic compounds. Additionally, it is employed in research for preparing dyes, luminescent materials, and other functional substances requiring specific structural motifs.
