Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antidiabetic and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the formation of heterocyclic compounds that are active in biological systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrazine-based drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and bioavailability. Suitable for derivatization reactions, enabling the production of amides, esters, and other functionalized derivatives for screening in drug discovery programs.
