Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports activity in modulating biological pathways in crops, enhancing selectivity and efficacy. Also explored in research for potential bioactive compounds due to its heterocyclic nature, which can interact with enzyme systems in pests or pathogens. Commonly employed in the creation of triazolopyrimidine-based compounds with improved stability and target specificity.
