Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to modulate biological activity in target organisms. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocycles enhance stability and reactivity. Its amine and chlorine functionalities allow for easy modification, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery research.
