Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments, particularly for producing yellow and orange shades in textile, leather, and printing ink applications. It also serves in the manufacture of certain agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its reactivity in forming carbon-nitrogen bonds. Its chloro and amino functional groups allow for easy modification in organic reactions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical research for building more complex molecules. Additionally, it is employed in the production of specialty polymers where aromatic amines contribute to thermal stability and mechanical strength.
