Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dyes. It plays a key role in the production of certain herbicides and insecticides due to its reactive amine and chloro groups. Also utilized in the manufacture of azo pigments for coatings and printing inks. Its derivatives are found in some pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory compounds. Commonly employed in organic synthesis where aniline derivatives are needed for building complex molecules.
