Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It plays a role in the preparation of azo dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality. Also employed in the development of certain analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents. Its reactivity makes it valuable in forming Schiff bases and other nitrogen-containing compounds used in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it finds use in research settings for synthesizing novel compounds with potential biological activity.
