Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives.
