Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It serves in the production of certain central nervous system agents due to its structural similarity to biologically active amines. Also employed in the development of fragrances and flavoring agents, where it contributes amine-like and aromatic characteristics. Its reactivity makes it suitable for use in organic transformations, including reductive amination and Schiff base formation. Limited use in agrochemicals as a building block for more complex molecules.
