Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amide structure, which contributes to color stability and lightfastness. Also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the design of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, where the molecule's planar conformation supports binding to biological targets. Additionally, finds use in polymer chemistry as a chain extender or cross-linking agent, enhancing thermal and mechanical properties of polyamides. Its ability to form hydrogen bonds makes it suitable for supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering applications.
