Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antimicrobial (including antibacterial and antiviral), anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agents. Exhibits potential in agrochemical applications as a building block for novel pesticides due to its heterocyclic structure. Also employed in coordination chemistry, acting as a ligand for metal ions in catalytic systems. In organic synthesis, it facilitates reactions to form carbon-sulfur or carbon-nitrogen bonds for creating complex structures. Its derivatives are explored in materials science for optoelectronic applications owing to electron-transport properties.
