Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile, printing, and leather industries. It also serves in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its aromatic amine structure, which can be further modified to create biologically active compounds. Additionally, it may find use in research settings for developing fluorescent probes or organic semiconductors owing to the naphthalene backbone’s electron-rich properties.
