Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific biological pathways in pests or pathogens. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, which contributes to color stability and intensity. Commonly utilized in research settings for the development of novel organic compounds requiring halogenated aniline building blocks.
