Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of angiotensin II receptor antagonists used to treat hypertension. It also serves as a building block in the preparation of antiviral and anticancer agents due to its ability to participate in click chemistry and form stable triazole-like structures. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for generating compound libraries in drug discovery. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical research for developing new active ingredients in crop protection agents.
