Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pyridine-based pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in bioactive molecules. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-withdrawing nitro group and reactive amino functionality. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
