Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive compounds. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the presence of both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups, allowing for versatile chemical modifications. Commonly employed in the development of dyes, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers where chloro-substituted aromatic amines are required. Its structure supports conjugation in heterocyclic compound formation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug design and optimization.
