Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, particularly for producing yellow and orange shades in textile and printing inks. It also serves in the manufacture of certain pharmaceuticals, including analgesics and antipyretics, due to its aromatic amine structure. Additionally, it finds use in the development of agrochemicals such as herbicides and fungicides. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research and industrial applications.
