Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of thiadiazole and triazole derivatives, which exhibit significant biological activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves in pharmaceutical research for developing new heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic applications. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building sulfur- and nitrogen-containing rings. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand to form metal complexes with catalytic or bioactive potential.
