Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its functionalized structure allows for selective modifications, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and stability in various reaction conditions. Additionally, it serves in materials science for creating specialty polymers and electronic materials where precise molecular architecture is required.
