Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, particularly for producing high-performance colorants used in coatings, inks, and textiles. Its structure allows for diazotization and coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating complex dye molecules with enhanced light and wash fastness. Also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and agrochemicals where aromatic amine functionality is required. Due to the presence of both amino groups and chloro/methyl substituents, it offers selective reactivity useful in multi-step organic synthesis.
