Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs with enhanced pharmacological properties. Also employed in the preparation of liquid crystal materials due to its aromatic and amine functionalities, which contribute to molecular alignment and stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the design of novel receptor ligands for neurological targets.
