Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antimicrobial agents. Its nitroaromatic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building bioactive molecules. It also serves in the preparation of ligands for metal complexes in catalysis and in the design of energetic materials due to the presence of the nitro group. Additionally, it finds use in research for constructing triazole-based functional materials.
