4-Aminophenol is widely used in flavors and fragrances, food additives, pesticide industry, pharmaceutical synthesis, and organic chemical synthesis, etc.
 

4-Aminophenol (or para-aminophenol or p-aminophenol) is the organic compound with the formula H2NC6H4OH. Typically available as a white powder, it was commonly used as a developer for black-and-white film, marketed under the name Rodinal.
