Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty chemicals. It also serves as a building block in the synthesis of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Additionally, p-Toluamide finds use in research laboratories for the preparation of amide-based compounds and as a model compound in crystallization studies due to its favorable solid-state properties.
