Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, particularly for producing yellow and orange shades in textile and printing inks. Also employed in the manufacture of certain pharmaceuticals, including analgesics and antipyretics, due to its aromatic amine structure. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemicals for herbicide and fungicide formulations. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research and development of fine chemicals.
