Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and selectivity. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles improve electronic properties. Its amino and ethoxy groups allow for easy modification in multi-step organic reactions, making it valuable in research and development across medicinal and industrial chemistry.
