Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for the preparation of bioactive molecules due to its amine and ether functionalities. Commonly employed in the development of local anesthetics and other medicinal agents where tertiary amine structures are required. Also utilized in the synthesis of surfactants and corrosion inhibitors. Its methoxy and dimethylamino groups make it valuable in modifying solubility and reactivity in various chemical processes.
