Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It serves as a building block in the production of selective kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structural features make it valuable in agrochemical research for designing new herbicides and fungicides. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, enabling coupling reactions for colorant synthesis.
