Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antiviral and anticancer properties. Its structure supports the formation of heterocyclic compounds that are important in medicinal chemistry. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for fluorescent dyes and optical brighteners, benefiting from the benzo[d]oxazole core’s luminescent characteristics.
