Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure contains both amine and nitro functional groups, making it valuable in organic transformations such as reductions and coupling reactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients in certain antiparasitic and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in research settings for developing novel compounds with biological activity. The hydrochloride salt form enhances stability and solubility, facilitating its use in aqueous or polar reaction media.
