Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for cyclization reactions to form benzothiazole or triazine derivatives, which are common scaffolds in bioactive molecules. Also employed in the preparation of coordination complexes with metal ions, useful in catalysis and material science. Shows potential in research for antimicrobial and antitumor agents due to its ability to interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions.
