Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where the nitrile and amine functionalities allow for further chemical modifications, enabling the creation of more complex heterocyclic compounds. Its furan ring contributes to electron-rich characteristics, making it useful in the design of compounds targeting enzyme inhibition. Also explored in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its structural affinity with biologically active molecules.
