Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block for more complex organic molecules due to the presence of both amine and ester functional groups, enabling diverse chemical transformations. Commonly employed in research settings for designing drug candidates and in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where controlled substitution on aromatic rings is required. Its reactivity allows for coupling reactions, acylation, and further functionalization to tailor molecular properties in medicinal chemistry.
