Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer compounds. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme active sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing inhibitors. Also employed in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower environmental impact. Commonly utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize lead compounds due to its stable furan-carboxamide core and versatile substitution pattern.
