Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile industry for coloring fabrics. It also serves in the manufacture of specialty polymers and resins where its aromatic amine group contributes to polymer chain linkage and thermal stability. Additionally, it finds use in the development of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to modify biological activity in active ingredients. Its derivative compounds are sometimes explored in pharmaceutical research for potential bioactive properties.
