Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups—amino, nitro, and chloro—allow for sequential chemical modifications, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in condensation and reduction reactions to form key building blocks for drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the development of novel pesticides due to its reactivity and structural properties.
