Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the development of energetic materials due to the presence of nitro and triazole functionalities, which contribute to high nitrogen content and energetic performance. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand precursor for metal complexes with potential catalytic or material science applications. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization through reduction of the nitro group or substitution reactions, enabling the synthesis of more complex heterocyclic systems.
