Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of high-performance organic colorants for textiles and coatings. Also employed in the development of photoconductive materials for use in electrophotography and imaging devices. Its nitro groups contribute to electron-accepting properties, making it valuable in the research of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of fluorescent probes and sensors due to its aromatic structure and ability to undergo functionalization.
