Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients that require substituted phenyl urea or aniline derivatives. Its protected amine functionality allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds in medicinal chemistry research. Also utilized in the production of specialty polymers and functional materials where halogenated aromatic groups enhance stability or reactivity.
