Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its reactive bromo and nitro groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. It serves in the production of agrochemicals, particularly as a building block for certain herbicides and fungicides. Also utilized in research laboratories for the development of novel organic compounds, especially in cross-coupling reactions where the bromine atom acts as a leaving group. Its nitrophenol structure makes it useful in the preparation of antioxidants and stabilizers for industrial materials.
