Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a role in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its reactivity and ability to introduce nitro and fluoro groups into compounds. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules in research and industrial applications. Its unique structure makes it valuable in the preparation of dyes and pigments, contributing to the colorant industry.
