Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely applied in the textile, printing, and coating industries. It also serves as a building block in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals, especially in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in organic synthesis for creating more complex molecules. Additionally, it finds use in research laboratories for developing new chemical entities and in the formulation of specialty chemicals for agrochemicals and polymer additives.
