Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of thiazole-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Commonly employed in the development of dyes and fluorescent agents due to its aromatic structure and amine functionality. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations for crop protection agents, where its heterocyclic core contributes to bioactivity. Serves as a building block in organic electronics and sensors owing to its electron-rich benzothiazole ring.
