This chemical is primarily used in the dye and pigment industry as a diazo component for the synthesis of azo dyes. It is particularly valuable in the production of colorants for textiles, paper, and leather due to its ability to form stable and vibrant colors upon coupling with appropriate substrates. Additionally, it finds application in the preparation of light-sensitive materials used in imaging and photocopying processes. Its role as a diazonium salt also makes it useful in organic synthesis for introducing morpholine and methoxy functional groups into target molecules.
