Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory drugs. It also serves in the development of agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of herbicides and pesticides due to its reactive functional groups. Its nitrile and amino groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in organic synthesis and the construction of complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Additionally, it has been explored in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where aromatic nitriles are required.
