Used as a building block in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of chelating agents for metal ions in industrial water treatment and cleaning formulations. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty polymers and epoxy curing agents, where it contributes to enhanced reactivity and mechanical properties in coatings and adhesives. Its bifunctional amine structure makes it valuable in organic synthesis for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
