Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring substituted aniline derivatives. Its structure allows for the formation of heterocyclic compounds, which are common in drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, contributing to color stability and molecular complexity. Additionally, it serves in agrochemical synthesis, where chloro- and amino-substituted aromatics are key motifs in certain herbicides and fungicides.
