Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It plays a role in the production of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or anticancer properties. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Additionally, it is utilized in the creation of agrochemicals, contributing to the development of pesticides or herbicides. Its halogenated benzylamine structure is also explored in material science for designing specialized polymers or coatings.
