Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. It plays a role in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, which are often explored for their biological activities, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, or anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it is utilized in research settings to study chemical reactions and develop novel drug candidates. Its structural features make it valuable for designing molecules with specific interactions in biological systems.
