Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides. It plays a key role in the production of certain chloroacetanilide-type herbicides, which are effective in controlling weeds in crops such as corn and soybeans. Also utilized in the development of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine structure, contributing to color stability and intensity. Its derivatives can be found in some pharmaceuticals and polymer stabilizers, where it helps improve resistance to degradation from light and heat.
