Used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its nitro group, which can be reduced to an amino group for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates, especially in the production of local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory agents. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for creating more complex aromatic compounds. Applied in research laboratories as a reagent or standard in analytical procedures. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and fungicides, where aromatic nitro compounds play a key role in bioactive molecule design.
