Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports conjugation in heterocyclic frameworks, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing new pharmaceuticals. Also employed in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors and as a ligand in coordination chemistry for metal ion detection and catalysis. Shows potential in materials science due to its electron-withdrawing properties and thermal stability, useful in organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices.
