Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. It serves as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its indazole core, which is known for biological activity. Its nitro and methyl functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the creation of diverse derivatives for screening in drug discovery. Also investigated for potential applications in materials science, particularly in the design of nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds with possible energetic or electronic properties. Not intended for use in consumer products or clinical applications.
