Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in coupling reactions to introduce the oxadiazole core into larger molecules, enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel drug candidates and functional materials.
