5-Nitrophthalazine is an organic compound characterized by its bicyclic structure, which consists of a phthalazine core with a nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the 5th carbon. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to brownish color and is known for its aromatic properties, contributing to its stability and reactivity. It is generally insoluble in water but may dissolve in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the nitro group introduces electron-withdrawing characteristics, which can influence its reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic substitutions. 5-Nitrophthalazine is often utilized in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its unique structure allows for potential applications in materials science and as a precursor for more complex chemical entities. Safety data indicates that, like many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.

5-Nitrophthalazine is a molecule that has been shown to have antifungal activity in vitro. It has an active methylene group, which can react with electron-rich molecules such as nitro compounds and pyridine. This reaction causes the release of a nitroso compound, which reacts with the DNA in the cell to cause death. 5-Nitrophthalazine is resistant to many types of mutations and can be used for horticultural use as an antifungal agent.
