Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in the design of compounds with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also employed in the preparation of Schiff base ligands for coordination chemistry, which can be useful in catalysis and material science. Due to the presence of imine and aromatic functionalities, it serves as a building block in the creation of more complex organic molecules through further functionalization reactions.
