Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure contains reactive sites that allow further transformations, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds, especially in routes leading to antifungal, antibacterial, or anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of novel heterocyclic compounds through cyclization or substitution reactions. Its nitro and halogen groups facilitate selective modifications, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in drug design.
