Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive amino and hydroxyl functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. It also serves in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, where it contributes to the structure of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Its chloro and amino substituents make it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for building complex heterocyclic systems in medicinal chemistry research. Additionally, it finds use in the development of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles enhance electronic or stability properties.
