Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for incorporation into more complex molecules, particularly in the development of bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in the production of herbicides and fungicides due to the presence of dichlorophenyl and amine functionalities, which enhance biological activity. Also serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with potential antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties. The amine group facilitates coupling reactions, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery processes.
