Used as a convenient nitric oxide (NO) donor in organic synthesis and biochemical research. It enables controlled release of nitric oxide under mild conditions, making it valuable in studies involving NO signaling pathways, such as vasodilation, neurotransmission, and immune response modulation. Commonly employed in the preparation of nitrosylated compounds and in catalysis where gaseous NO is impractical. Its stability and ease of handling make it suitable for laboratory-scale reactions requiring precise NO delivery.
