Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to the presence of both amino and cyano functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in the development of heterocyclic compounds, including benzoxazoles and quinazolines, which are found in various medicinal agents. Also utilized in dye synthesis and agrochemical formulations for enhancing reactivity and structural diversity.
