Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its structure supports use in amidation and acylation reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for designing enzyme inhibitors or anti-inflammatory agents due to the presence of acetamido and ether functional groups. Also utilized in the synthesis of dyes and UV stabilizers for polymers owing to its aromatic and amide characteristics.
