Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports further chemical modifications, especially in the development of biologically active compounds. The presence of nitro and trichloromethyl groups makes it suitable for use in condensation reactions and heterocyclic ring formation. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing pyrrole-based derivatives with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty chemicals requiring electron-withdrawing group activation.
