Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex aromatic systems. It is also employed in the preparation of ligands for catalytic processes and in the synthesis of functional materials such as organic semiconductors and fluorescent probes. Due to the presence of both pyridine and nitroaryl moieties, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive molecules.
