Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules due to the presence of both amine and nitrile functional groups. Commonly employed in the preparation of benzothiazole-based drugs that exhibit kinase inhibition and antimicrobial activity. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing pesticides with improved efficacy. Its versatility makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery processes.
