Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its fused heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing new drug candidates. Also employed in research settings to explore novel organic reactions and build complex nitrogen-containing scaffolds. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate for fluorescent compounds used in biosensors and optoelectronic materials due to its excellent light absorption and emission properties. Shows promise in agrochemical applications as a building block for plant growth regulators or pesticides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
