Used primarily in research settings as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a building block for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the design of potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. Its nitro and chloro functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for drug discovery. Also investigated for its role in enhancing the potency of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Not used in consumer products or industrial applications due to its specialized nature and limited availability.
