Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dyes. It serves in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its sulfur-containing aromatic structure, which enhances bioactivity. Also employed in the manufacture of specialty pigments and rubber chemicals, where the thioether linkage contributes to stability and reactivity. Its amine group allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in custom organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and crop protection agents.
