Used primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds targeting the central nervous system. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of drugs that act on neurotransmitter systems, including antipsychotics and antidepressants. Additionally, it is employed in the creation of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine structure, which allows for the formation of stable colorants. In research, it is utilized to study chemical reactions involving amines and to develop novel organic compounds with potential therapeutic applications. Its role in organic synthesis extends to the preparation of complex molecules for material science and chemical engineering applications.
