Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for constructing more complex molecules due to the presence of both an amino group and an ester functionality. The compound is valuable in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, including benzoxazines and quinazolines, which are common scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. It also finds use in the development of dyes and functional materials where aromatic amines and ester derivatives are required.
