Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amide and nitro functional groups, which can undergo further transformations such as reduction, cyclization, and substitution reactions. Its structure is often exploited in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, including potential anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in research settings for designing novel compounds with targeted biological activity.
