Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly azo dyes, due to its ability to undergo diazotization and coupling reactions. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and insecticides, where it contributes to the active ingredient's structure. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially in the development of analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents. Its reactivity makes it valuable in organic synthesis for introducing aromatic amine functionalities.
