Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile industry for coloring fabrics. Also employed in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its amine functionality, which allows for easy modification in multi-step organic reactions. Its methylated aromatic diamine structure makes it suitable for use in polymer chemistry, including the development of epoxy curing agents and specialty resins. Additionally, it finds application in the manufacture of photographic chemicals and corrosion inhibitors.
