Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting inflammation and central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amine and amide functional groups, enabling diverse chemical transformations. Commonly employed in research settings for designing novel compounds with potential biological activity. Also utilized in the manufacture of agrochemicals and dyes where substituted benzamides are required. Its structural features make it suitable for use in peptide coupling reactions and in the formation of Schiff bases for further derivatization.
