Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its nitro and amine functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific enzymatic pathways in plants. Also investigated for use in energetic materials due to the presence of nitro groups, which contribute to high nitrogen content and potential explosive properties. Employed in research settings to develop novel compounds with enhanced biological activity.
