Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic agents. It plays a key role in the production of compounds with potential antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules, often serving as a building block in the creation of nitroaromatic compounds. Its functional groups make it valuable for further chemical modifications, enabling the development of diverse chemical structures for research and industrial applications.
