Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antihypertensive and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active heterocyclic compounds. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to influence metabolic pathways in plants. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of specialty polymers and functional materials where nitrogen-containing aromatic systems enhance thermal and chemical stability.
