Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure, featuring amino, nitro, and chloro substituents on a biphenyl core, allows for further functionalization in organic reactions, making it valuable in creating complex aromatic compounds. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of dyes and functional materials due to its electron-withdrawing (nitro and chloro) and electron-donating (amino) substituents that influence photochemical properties.
