Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for the development of compounds with selective activity against weeds and pests. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, which contributes to color development and stability. In pharmaceutical research, it serves as a building block for certain active ingredients where halogenated anilines are required for biological activity. Handling requires caution due to potential toxicity and environmental persistence.
