Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block for more complex molecules due to its stable aromatic structure and reactive amine group. Its bulky cyclohexyl substituents enhance steric hindrance, which can influence selectivity in chemical reactions, making it valuable in the development of specialty chemicals and ligands for catalysis. Also employed in research for designing novel organic materials and sensors.
