Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, particularly in the production of phenoxy-based weed control agents. It plays a role in the development of crop protection chemicals due to its ability to modify plant growth processes. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and pigments for industrial applications. Its structure supports coupling reactions in the manufacture of azo dyes. Additionally, it may serve as a building block in the creation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where aromatic amine and ether functionalities are required.
