Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes that require chlorinated aromatic amines. Plays a role in the production of pharmaceuticals, including anti-inflammatory and central nervous system agents, due to its functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis, especially in herbicides and plant growth regulators, where the chloro and amino substituents contribute to biological activity. Its structure makes it suitable for coupling reactions in organic synthesis, enabling the development of complex molecules in research and industrial applications.
