Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antiviral agents, particularly in the development of inhibitors targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in certain viral pathogens. It plays a role in the construction of fused heterocyclic systems that exhibit potent biological activity. Its structure enables selective binding in enzyme active sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also explored in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
