Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, this compound contributes to the development of colored compounds for textiles, inks, and coatings. Its structure supports chromophore formation, enhancing color intensity and stability in dye applications. Also investigated for use in organic synthesis where azo coupling reactions are required. Limited solubility in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it suitable for non-aqueous industrial processes. Due to the presence of aromatic amines and azo groups, handling requires caution, especially in environments where reduction to potentially hazardous amines may occur.
