Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anxiolytic and sedative agents. It serves as a building block in the preparation of triazolopyrimidine derivatives, which exhibit potent activity as GABA receptor modulators. Also applied in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in heterocyclic compounds. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and in the design of kinase inhibitors.
