Used as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for azo dyes and pigments in high-performance colorants for textiles and coatings. The nitro and amine functionalities support development of photoactive compounds for UV-sensitive materials and optical sensors. Its benzamide structure incorporating β-alanine ethyl ester enables conjugation in heterocyclic systems and serves as a building block in pharmaceutical research for nitrogen-rich molecules, including potential bioactive agents like antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, and peptide derivatives.
