Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Its structure supports derivatization for use in medicinal chemistry research, especially in the design of CNS-active agents. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing new crop protection agents due to its stability and reactivity in coupling reactions. Commonly utilized in solid-phase and combinatorial chemistry for generating oxadiazole-based compound libraries.
