Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, which are common in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Also employed in agrochemical formulations for crop protection due to its reactivity and stability in pesticide synthesis. Commonly utilized in research settings for the design of novel bioactive molecules and in the preparation of functionalized pyrazine derivatives for medicinal chemistry applications.
