Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. It serves as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its amine functionality and aromatic structure, which can be further modified through alkylation, acylation, or coupling reactions. Commonly employed in research and development for creating novel drug candidates targeting pain relief and inflammatory conditions. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where substituted aromatic amines are required. Its chloro and methyl substituents enhance reactivity and influence the biological activity of the final compound.
