Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where brominated aromatic compounds are needed for coupling reactions. It serves in the preparation of dyes, agrochemicals, and functional materials due to the presence of both amino and carboxylic acid groups, which allow for versatile chemical modifications. Its structure supports use in peptide synthesis and as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Also employed in research settings for the design of novel compounds with potential biological activity.
