Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amino and chloro functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its amide and aromatic functionalities make it suitable for coupling reactions in organic synthesis.
