Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with insecticidal and fungicidal properties. Its nitrile and heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in constructing complex organic compounds, especially in medicinal chemistry for designing kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Also employed in the preparation of functional materials and dyes due to its electron-withdrawing nitrile group and aromatic stability.
