Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the creation of more complex molecules by serving as a building block in organic reactions. Commonly employed in research settings for designing new bioactive compounds due to the presence of both nitrile and amide functional groups, which can be further modified. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators. Shows potential in material science for constructing specialty polymers with unique thermal and electronic properties.
