Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a chiral intermediate for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the production of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators. Its 4,5-dihydrooxazole core and pyrimidine group enable strong binding interactions in biological systems, making it valuable in drug discovery for central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. The (R)-enantiomer shows enhanced selectivity in asymmetric reactions and is employed in catalysis to produce enantiopure drugs. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals due to its stability and reactivity profile.
