Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile, printing, and coloring industries. It also serves in the production of certain pharmaceuticals where aromatic amine structures are required for active ingredients. Additionally, it can act as a building block in organic synthesis for agrochemicals and specialty polymers. Its structure allows for functionalization that supports the development of compounds with specific electronic or optical properties, making it useful in research for optoelectronic materials.
