Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, particularly in the development of high-performance polymers and specialty resins. Its functional groups enable incorporation into polyamides and polyesters, enhancing thermal stability and mechanical strength. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds due to its amine and ester reactivity. Additionally, serves as a building block in coordination chemistry for designing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with potential applications in gas storage and catalysis.
