Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where an amine-functionalized benzophenone derivative is required. Its structure allows for easy modification in multi-step syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of photoinitiators and UV-curable resins due to the benzophenone moiety, which imparts photochemical stability and reactivity under UV light.
