Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitro and methoxy functional groups enable further derivatization to support the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in the creation of pesticides, herbicides, antifungals, and other crop protection agents. It also serves in research settings for heterocyclic compound development, contributing to the design of novel compounds with potential antibacterial, antifungal, or insecticidal properties.
