Application

4-Bromoaniline can be used as a starting material for the preparation of:
  • Sharpless asymmetric ligands for dihydroxylation of alkenes.
  • Chemical intermediates such as 4-bromophenyl azide , 4-bromonitrosobenzene , N-(4-bromophenyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide , and ethyl 4-(4-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)phenyl)butanoate.

It is also used in the surface functionalization of carbon nanotubes via preparation of 4-bromo benzenediazonium derivatives.
