Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes for textiles and inks. It also serves in the development of pharmaceuticals, where its structure—with nitro and amino groups connected to a piperidine ring—supports the creation of bioactive molecules, including potential antiparasitic and antimicrobial agents. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients in crop protection products.
