Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structure allows for further functionalization in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of more complex molecules, especially in the creation of substituted anilines for drug discovery. Also utilized in the manufacture of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine properties. The presence of halogen atoms enables cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building blocks for advanced organic synthesis.
