This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely applied in textiles, inks, and coatings. Its structure allows it to act as an intermediate in organic reactions, contributing to the development of colorants with specific properties such as improved lightfastness and solubility. Additionally, it finds application in the pharmaceutical industry as a building block for the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), where its aromatic and functional groups play a key role in drug design. In research, it serves as a valuable reagent for studying chemical reactions and developing new compounds with potential industrial or medicinal uses.
