Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitro group and triazole ring make it valuable in constructing bioactive molecules, especially in developing antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer agents. It also serves in the preparation of energetic materials due to the presence of nitro functionality, contributing to thermal stability and energy density in certain explosives and propellants. Additionally, it finds use in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes with potential catalytic or material science applications.
