Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitubercular and antimicrobial agents. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry due to its ability to form Schiff bases and other derivatives with enhanced biological activity. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal ions, contributing to the design of catalytic or sensor materials. Its structural features make it valuable in research focused on drug discovery and material science.
