Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amine and amide functional groups, which allow for cyclization reactions. Commonly employed in research settings for the design of novel bioactive molecules and in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies. Also utilized in the production of dyes and pigments where aromatic amide structures contribute to color stability and lightfastness.
