Used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes, due to its aromatic structure and functional groups that facilitate coupling reactions. Employed in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, where it acts as a building block for more complex molecules. Serves as an intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially in the development of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. Applied in organic synthesis for the preparation of liquid crystals and other specialty chemicals. Also utilized in research laboratories as a reagent or starting material for various chemical transformations.
