Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the production of active ingredients where the benzylamine moiety is required. Its hydrobromide salt form enhances stability and solubility, making it suitable for reactions in polar solvents. Commonly employed in the synthesis of dyes, catalysts, and specialty polymers. Also utilized in research settings for modifying biomolecules and developing new chemical entities.
