Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dyes, including azo dyes for textiles and printing inks. Plays a key role in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its reactive amine group and halogen substituents. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals for polymer stabilization and in the preparation of complex organic molecules requiring selective substitution patterns. Its methoxy and chlorine groups allow for controlled reactivity in coupling reactions and heterocycle formation.
