Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for the formation of nitrogen-containing rings due to its bifunctional amide groups. Employed in the development of agrochemicals and dyes, where it contributes to molecular complexity through condensation reactions. Its structure allows for controlled reactivity in the synthesis of peptides and peptidomimetics. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel amide-based frameworks with potential biological activity.
