Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for the development of compounds with selective activity against broadleaf weeds. It is also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, which contributes to color stability and intensity. Additionally, it has been explored in the development of polymer stabilizers, where it helps protect materials from UV degradation. Due to its reactivity, it serves as a building block in the preparation of more complex organic molecules in research and industrial settings.
