Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the preparation of complex molecules, particularly in the development of azo dyes, which are widely applied in the textile industry. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), contributing to the creation of compounds with specific biological activities. Its utility in research and industrial applications stems from its reactivity and ability to introduce functional groups into target molecules.
