Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the presence of both amino and nitro functional groups, enabling various substitution and reduction reactions. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments for specialized applications in coatings and polymers. Its derivatives are explored for biological activity in research settings, including antimicrobial and antifungal studies.
