Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of triazole-based pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules that can target specific enzymes in pathogenic organisms. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new fungicides due to its electron-withdrawing nitro and chloro groups enhancing biological activity. Commonly utilized in heterocyclic chemistry for constructing complex nitrogen-containing compounds in drug discovery programs.
