DMA is a key precursor to commercially important [[triarylmethane dye]]s such as [[malachite green]] and [[crystal violet]].<ref>Gessner, Thomas and Mayer, Udo (2002) "Triarylmethane and Diarylmethane Dyes" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry''. Wiley-VCH, Weinheim.{{doi|10.1002/14356007.a27_179}}</ref>  DMA serves as a promoter in the curing of polyester and vinyl ester resins.<ref>[https://www.compositesaustralia.com.au/for-industry/health-and-safety/dma/ General Info on DMA (N,N-Dimethylaniline)], Composites Australia</ref>  DMA is also used as a precursor to other organic compounds. A study of the in vitro metabolism of ''N,N''-dimethylaniline using guinea pig and rabbit preparations and GLC techniques has confirmed ''N''-demethylation and ''N''-oxidation as metabolic pathways, and has also established ring hydroxylation as a metabolic route.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1007/BF03189489|pmid=7308239| title = The in vitro metabolism of N,N-dimethylaniline by guinea pig and rabbit tissue preparations| journal = European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics| volume = 6| issue = 3| pages = 195–206| year = 1981| last1 = Gorrod | first1 = J.
