Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of benzimidamide-based pharmaceutical compounds, serving as a key precursor for antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant agents. It is employed in developing drugs that inhibit enzymes linked to chronic conditions such as diabetes and neurological disorders. Its ability to act as a metal-binding ligand supports applications in materials science for chemical sensors and catalysts. The structure facilitates formation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds, making it valuable in research for designing antiparasitic agents, new bioactive molecules via stable derivatives with metal ions and organic scaffolds, and crop protection products in agrochemicals.
