Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, it plays a crucial role in producing colorants for textiles, plastics, and inks. Its nitro and amino functional groups make it valuable for creating complex dye structures with specific color properties. Additionally, it finds application in organic synthesis for developing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its structure serves as a building block for more complex molecules. In research, it is utilized in studies related to nitroaromatic compounds and their reactivity.
