Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its nitro group and amine functionality. Commonly employed in agrochemical manufacturing for creating herbicides and fungicides. Serves as a building block in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds with anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial properties. Its structure allows for easy modification in organic reactions, making it valuable in research laboratories for designing new chemical entities. Also utilized in the production of specialty polymers where thermal stability and electron-withdrawing characteristics are required.
