Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of pyridine-based bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Its nitro and amine functional groups allow for versatile chemical modifications, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic compounds. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
