Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely applied in textiles, inks, and plastics. It also finds application in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its aniline structure, which can be modified to create complex organic molecules. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for creating specialized polymers and coatings, where its methoxyethoxy group enhances solubility and reactivity in various chemical processes.
