Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pigments, and specialty polymers. It serves as a building block in the development of liquid crystal materials for display technologies due to its structural stability and mesogenic properties. Also employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals where aromatic amine functionality is required. Its long alkyl chain enhances solubility in organic solvents, making it suitable for use in coatings and adhesives formulations.
