Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance biological activity in pyrazole-based compounds. Its nitro and carboxylic functional groups allow for versatile chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building active ingredients with targeted modes of action. Also employed in research for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
