Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the development of high-performance colorants for textiles and polymers. Plays a role in the production of specialty resins and antioxidants due to its phenolic structure and amine functionality. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds, where the amino and hydroxyl groups allow for derivatization into biologically active molecules. Its tert-butyl group enhances stability and influences solubility, making it suitable for use in polymer stabilization and as a building block in agrochemical formulations.
