Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients in crop protection agents. It also serves in research settings for developing novel organic compounds, particularly in the nitroaniline derivative family. Due to the presence of both nitro and amine groups, it participates in reduction and coupling reactions, useful in dye and pigment manufacturing. Handling requires caution due to potential toxicity and environmental hazards.
