Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals as a key intermediate due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure. Its reactivity allows for functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. Also employed in materials science for the production of organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes, where its electron-deficient core enhances charge transport properties. Commonly found in research settings for constructing complex molecules in medicinal chemistry campaigns.
