Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, particularly for producing yellow, orange, and red shades with good light and wash fastness. Commonly applied in textile dyeing, printing inks, and industrial coatings. Also serves as a building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its aromatic and amide functionalities. Shows potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complex formation used in catalysis or material science.
