Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting inflammatory and neurological conditions. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the presence of both amine and amide functional groups, enabling coupling reactions and ring modifications. Also applied in the preparation of dyes and functionalized polymers where aromatic amides enhance thermal stability and structural complexity. Its derivatives are explored in medicinal chemistry for potential anticonvulsant and analgesic activities.
