Used as a precursor in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for the preparation of various bioactive molecules due to its amine functionality and aromatic moiety. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system agents, including certain antidepressants and stimulants. Also utilized in the synthesis of dyes and specialty chemicals where tertiary amine structures are required. Its volatility and basicity make it suitable as a reagent in catalytic reactions and as an intermediate in phase-transfer catalysis.
