Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form stable, biologically active structures. Its nitro and amine functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. Commonly employed in research settings to design molecules with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or antitumor activity.
