Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dyes. It plays a key role in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its chloro and alkyl-substituted aromatic amine structure, which enhances bioactivity. Also employed in the manufacture of specialty pigments and azo dyes, where it contributes to color fastness and stability. Its reactivity makes it suitable for coupling reactions in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of complex molecules for crop protection products.
