Primarily used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, it serves as an intermediate in the production of colorants for textiles and plastics. Its nitro and amino functional groups make it valuable in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds. Additionally, it finds application in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it acts as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In agrochemicals, it contributes to the creation of herbicides and pesticides. Its properties also make it useful in research and development for creating novel chemical entities with potential industrial or medicinal applications.
