Used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of thiadiazole and triazole derivatives, which exhibit biological activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Also studied as an inhibitor of certain enzymes, such as carbonic anhydrase, which is associated with diseases like glaucoma and cancer, making it promising for new drug development. Serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry, forming complexes with metal ions that are studied for their catalytic or pharmacological potential. Additionally employed in the development of novel organic materials due to its electron-donating and chelating characteristics.
