Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling systems and metal treatment processes due to its strong adsorption on metal surfaces, forming a protective layer that prevents oxidative and acidic degradation. Also applied in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of compounds with biological activity. Shows potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for transition metal complexes used in catalysis. Additionally, evaluated in research for antimicrobial agents owing to its ability to disrupt microbial enzyme function.
