Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure allows for the construction of complex heterocyclic compounds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating novel drug candidates. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where aromatic amines with specific substitution patterns are required. The presence of both amine groups and halogen substituents enables selective reactions, facilitating its use in multi-step organic syntheses.
