Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its structure supports the development of central nervous system agents due to the presence of both amide and amine functionalities. Commonly employed in the synthesis of local anesthetics and antiarrhythmic drugs. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals and dyes, where aromatic amide frameworks are required. Shows utility in research settings for building more complex molecules through functional group transformations.
