Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides due to its stable heterocyclic structure. Also employed in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where it contributes to color stability and lightfastness. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research laboratories for developing new bioactive molecules.
