Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for heterocyclic compounds due to its reactive thione and amine functional groups. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including antiviral and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes, enhancing catalytic activity in certain reactions. Its derivatives are explored in medicinal chemistry for potential neurological and anti-inflammatory applications.
