Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of compounds with biological activity, particularly in the creation of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It also serves in research for energetic materials due to the presence of nitro and triazole groups, which contribute to high nitrogen content and potential use in low-sensitivity explosives or propellants. Additionally, it has been explored in the design of corrosion inhibitors and in coordination chemistry as a ligand precursor.
