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 groups, which allow for further functionalization. Commonly employed in the development of pyridine-based compounds with biological activity, including fungicides and insecticides. Also utilized in research for the preparation of dyes and specialty chemicals requiring substituted pyridine structures.
