Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for producing yellow and orange azo dyes. It also serves in the manufacture of certain rubber chemicals, acting as a precursor for antioxidants and antiozonants that help protect rubber products from degradation due to ozone and oxidation. Additionally, it finds use in specialty chemical formulations for corrosion inhibitors and in some agrochemical syntheses as a building block for active ingredients.
