Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports the design of bioactive molecules due to the presence of heterocyclic and sulfur functionalities. Employed in agrochemicals for creating pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy. Also applied in materials science as a ligand in coordination chemistry, helping form metal complexes with potential use in catalysis or luminescent devices. Shows promise in research for corrosion inhibitors in metal protection.
