Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing biologically active compounds, particularly in the production of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Exhibits utility in research settings for designing new drug candidates due to its imidazole core, which is known for facilitating enzyme inhibition and enhancing binding affinity. Also employed in the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalysis and sensing applications, leveraging its nitrogen-rich structure to coordinate with metal ions. Shows potential in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
