Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in the synthesis of amine derivatives through reduction or nucleophilic substitution reactions. Also utilized in the production of dyes and fluorescent agents due to its aromatic and imide characteristics. Suitable for research in medicinal chemistry for designing new compounds with potential therapeutic activity.
