Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, particularly in developing kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports conjugation in fluorescent probes and labeling reagents due to the benzodiazole moiety's photostability. Also employed in the development of polymers and functional materials where amine reactivity enables cross-linking or surface modification. Common in medicinal chemistry for building heterocyclic scaffolds with potential neurological and anti-inflammatory activity.
