Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system drugs and antipsychotic medications. It serves as a building block in the preparation of complex organic molecules due to its bifunctional nature, allowing for selective reactions at the amine groups. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and plant growth regulators, where its chloro and amine functionalities contribute to biological activity. Additionally, it finds use in the creation of dyes and specialty polymers, where it helps modify solubility and thermal stability.
