Used in the synthesis of sulfa drugs, this compound serves as an intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly in the development of sulfonamide antibiotics. It contributes to the formation of bioactive molecules that inhibit bacterial growth by interfering with folic acid synthesis. Additionally, it may be employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine structure, offering applications in textile and printing industries. Its functional groups also make it suitable for use in chemical research for developing new sulfonamide-based compounds with potential therapeutic effects.
