Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for active ingredients in certain medicinal compounds due to its amine functionality and aromatic structure. Its derivatives can be found in some antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals such as catalysts and ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions. Its reactivity allows for easy modification in multi-step synthesis routes.
