Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of various active ingredients where an aromatic amine functionality is required. Its structure allows for derivatization in drug development, particularly in compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Also employed in the creation of specialty chemicals and ligands for catalysis. Due to the presence of both amine and chloro-substituted phenyl groups, it is valuable in cross-coupling reactions and building complex molecules in research settings.
