Used primarily in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, which impart specific color properties to textile and industrial materials. It serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely employed in the textile industry. Additionally, it finds application in research and development for creating novel compounds with potential pharmaceutical or agrochemical uses. Its nitro and methoxy groups make it a versatile building block in chemical reactions, enabling the creation of complex molecules.
