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 group and substituted aromatic structure. The compound is also utilized in the manufacture of specialty pigments and azo dyes, where its methoxy and chloro functionalities contribute to color stability and solubility characteristics. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of some pharmaceuticals, particularly in routes requiring substituted anilines for coupling reactions. Its selective reactivity makes it valuable in multi-step organic syntheses where controlled functionalization is required.
