Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic drugs. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the presence of both amino and methyl groups, which allow for further functionalization. Commonly employed in the manufacture of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its chloro and amino substituents make it valuable in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitution processes in organic synthesis. Also utilized in research settings for the development of new bioactive molecules and in the creation of dyes and specialty chemicals.
