Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block for more complex molecules due to the presence of reactive halogen groups and an aromatic amine functionality. Commonly employed in coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to form carbon-nitrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the development of dyes and specialty polymers where halogenated anilines enhance thermal and chemical stability.
