Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports the formation of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit biological activity against certain pests and pathogens. Also employed in research settings for developing novel kinase inhibitors due to its ability to mimic purine-like scaffolds in enzyme inhibition. Shows utility in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-rich frameworks with potential antiviral and anticancer properties.
