Used as a building block in pharmaceutical synthesis for the development of drugs with antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Its heterocyclic structure enhances metabolic stability, bioavailability, and molecular-level responsiveness to biological targets in drug candidates. Employed in the agrochemical industry to improve the efficacy of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides by aiding in the destruction of fungi and insects. Commonly used as a starting material in the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the production of fluorescent dyes and optical brighteners used in textiles and paper industries.
