Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require substituted aromatic diamines. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery research, especially in the design of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where halogenated aromatic amines enhance electronic or stability properties.
