Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting neurological and inflammatory conditions. It serves as a building block in the production of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and fungicides, due to its reactive amine and nitrile functional groups. Also employed in the manufacture of dyes and pigments, where it contributes to color stability and molecular complexity. Its structure allows for easy modification in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research and development of new chemical entities.
