Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of angiotensin II receptor antagonists, particularly in the production of sartan-class antihypertensive drugs such as valsartan and losartan. Its structure enables effective binding to the angiotensin II receptor, helping to block vasoconstriction and regulate blood pressure. Due to its stability and reactivity, it is favored in pharmaceutical manufacturing for constructing heterocyclic frameworks. Also employed in research for developing new bioactive molecules with potential cardiovascular and metabolic effects.
