Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It also serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides and herbicides. Its aromatic and heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in materials science, especially in the design of organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes. Additionally, it is employed in research settings to develop ligands for metal-organic frameworks and catalysts.
