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. It also serves in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, where it acts as a building block for active ingredients in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical synthesis, contributing to the development of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structural properties make it valuable in research for designing new organic compounds with specific electronic or biological properties.
