Used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for azo dyes which are widely applied in the textile, printing, and coloring industries. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of functional organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its amine and methoxy functional groups that facilitate coupling reactions. Also employed in the development of specialty polymers and photochemicals where aromatic amines enhance stability and reactivity. Its structure supports use in research for new heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity.
