This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely applied in textiles, leather, and paper industries. It also serves as a key building block in the manufacture of certain agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, contributing to crop protection and agricultural productivity. Additionally, it finds application in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in various medications. Its role in organic synthesis is crucial for creating complex molecules with specific functional properties.
