Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely applied in textiles, inks, and coatings. It is also employed in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those targeting specific biological pathways. Additionally, it finds use in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules in research and industrial applications. Its methoxyethoxy group enhances solubility and reactivity, making it valuable in various chemical processes.
