Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its nitro group allows for further functionalization, such as reduction to an amine, enabling the formation of more complex triazole derivatives. It also serves in click chemistry applications, where triazole structures are valuable for bioconjugation and drug discovery. Additionally, it can act as a building block in materials science for developing energetic materials or fluorescent probes due to the electron-withdrawing nitro group enhancing photophysical properties.
