Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a reagent in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure supports the formation of guanidine derivatives, which are important in medicinal chemistry for enhancing binding affinity to biological targets. Commonly employed in research settings for modifying peptide-like structures and improving metabolic stability in drug design. Also utilized in the synthesis of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its reactivity and structural features.
