Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structures. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in constructing pyrazine-based compounds that exhibit biological activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs in drug discovery programs, especially for central nervous system agents and antimicrobial compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for the design of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular diversity and bioavailability in target molecules.
