Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and medicinal compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine group and halogen substitution, which enhance color fastness and reactivity. Also utilized in research settings for the construction of more complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions.
