Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of brominated aromatic compounds with biological activity. It serves in the development of certain flame retardants due to the presence of bromine atoms, which enhance fire resistance in polymers and resins. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where its amino and phenolic groups allow for coupling reactions and structural modification. Its reactivity makes it suitable for use in cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis, especially in the construction of complex molecules requiring selective functionalization.
