Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its primary amine group allows for functionalization in building complex molecules. It serves in the development of specialty chemicals such as surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and stabilizers in polymer systems. Due to its branched structure, it offers steric properties beneficial in designing catalysts and ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions. Also employed in the synthesis of certain active ingredients in crop protection agents.
