Used primarily in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, it serves as an intermediate in producing colorants for textiles and inks. Its structure allows for the creation of vibrant and stable colors, making it valuable in industries requiring high-quality dye materials. Additionally, it plays a role in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its nitro and amino groups facilitate further chemical modifications. Its applications extend to research laboratories for studying nitroaromatic compounds and their reactivity.
