Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in azo dye production due to its aromatic amine group. It also serves in the manufacture of specialty polymers and photochemicals. Its chloroethoxy functionality allows for further alkylation or cross-linking in polymer chains, making it useful in coatings and adhesives. Additionally, it has been employed in the development of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where substituted anilines are required as building blocks.
