Used as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of catalysts for organic transformations. It plays a role in stabilizing metal complexes used in polymerization and hydrogenation reactions. Also employed in the development of ionic liquids for green chemistry applications due to its ability to form stable, tunable structures. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required. Its basicity and steric profile make it suitable for use in selective catalytic processes.
