Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anticonvulsant and central nervous system (CNS) active agents. Its structure allows for selective interaction with neurological receptors, making it valuable in research for new neuroactive drugs. Also employed in agrochemical research for the design of novel herbicides due to its triazinone core, which exhibits plant growth modulation properties. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and bioavailability in drug candidates.
