Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the formation of pyrimidine-based compounds that can interfere with nucleic acid synthesis in pathogens or tumor cells. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for derivatization to enhance biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients in crop protection products. Shows potential in materials science due to its aromatic and hydrogen-bonding properties, useful in constructing supramolecular architectures.
