Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of energetic materials and high-performance explosives due to its high nitrogen content and exothermic decomposition characteristics. Its structure supports thermal stability while contributing to high detonation velocity and pressure, making it suitable for use in propellants and pyrotechnic formulations. Also investigated for use in insensitive munitions where safety and stability are critical. Additionally, it serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry for developing novel pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, though such applications remain limited due to its energetic nature.
