Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective protection of amine groups during multi-step organic reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and fine chemicals where nitro-group transformations and controlled deprotection are required. Also utilized in research settings for building complex heterocyclic systems due to its stability under various reaction conditions.
