Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its heterocyclic structure enables functionalization for creating bioactive molecules. It is also employed in research for constructing novel thiadiazole-based compounds with potential antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis to introduce the thiadiazole ring into larger molecular frameworks, enhancing stability and reactivity in final products.
