Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients with high specificity. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine group and halogen substitution, which enhance color stability and reactivity. Commonly utilized in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules through cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
