Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes due to its amino and nitro functional groups that facilitate diazotization and coupling reactions. Also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for compounds with biological activity, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in research for designing new organic molecules. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and pesticides.
