Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific plant or fungal pathways. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine group, which contributes to color stability and lightfastness. Commonly utilized in research settings for building more complex molecules through coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions.
