Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports coordination with metal ions, making it useful in the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for catalysis and sensing applications. Exhibits good thermal stability and electron-withdrawing properties, beneficial in optoelectronic materials and organic semiconductors. Also employed in corrosion inhibitors due to its ability to form protective layers on metal surfaces. Shows potential in agrochemicals as a building block for novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile.
