Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring substituted anilines. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug design, making it valuable in creating compounds with specific biological activity. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality and ability to form stable color-producing derivatives. Commonly utilized in research settings for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig, to build complex molecules for medicinal chemistry.
