Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, including dyes, pigments, and functional polymers. Its structure supports the development of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to the presence of both amine and carboxylic acid groups, enabling strong binding with metal ions. Employed in pharmaceutical research for building blocks in drug design, particularly in compounds targeting enzyme inhibition. Also applied in the preparation of specialty resins and heat-resistant materials owing to its aromatic and polar functional groups.
