Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and pesticides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity. Serves as a building block in the creation of dyes and functional materials, especially in heterocyclic chemistry for constructing more complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Its amine group allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery and optimization.
