Used as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalytic complexes. Its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure allows it to coordinate with transition metals, enhancing catalytic activity in reactions such as C–H activation and cross-coupling. Also employed in the development of ionic liquids for use as solvents in green chemistry applications, where its propyl side chain improves solubility and thermal stability. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its ability to modulate biological activity when incorporated into larger molecules.
