Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitroalkene functionality makes it valuable in Michael addition reactions and cycloadditions, enabling the construction of complex molecular frameworks. It also serves as a building block in the development of bioactive compounds, including potential antifungal and antibacterial agents. Due to its conjugated system, it finds use in research involving electron-deficient alkenes for material science applications.
