Used as a key building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents due to its ability to form stable hydrogen bonds and participate in click chemistry reactions. Its rigid heterocyclic structure enhances binding selectivity in drug-receptor interactions. Also employed in materials science for designing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and corrosion inhibitors, where its multiple functional groups improve thermal stability and metal coordination. Additionally, serves as a precursor in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides with improved environmental profiles.
