Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anxiolytic and sedative agents. Its structure is valuable in creating bioactive molecules due to its resemblance to naturally occurring nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial compounds. Also utilized in the design of fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials owing to its favorable photophysical properties. Plays a role in agrochemical research for developing new crop protection agents.
