Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and acetamido functional groups, which can be selectively modified. Commonly employed in the synthesis of dyes, fluorescent probes, and conjugation reagents for biomolecules. Its structure allows for easy incorporation into larger aromatic systems, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design and development.
