Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in creating compounds with selective biological activity. It may serve in the preparation of herbicides or plant growth regulators due to the presence of dichlorophenyl and alkylamine moieties, which are common in crop protection agents. Additionally, it has potential use in medicinal chemistry for designing central nervous system agents or antimicrobial compounds, leveraging the amine functionality for salt formation and improved solubility.
