Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors. It also serves in the development of agrochemicals, including herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in active ingredients. Its structure supports derivatization for use in medicinal chemistry research, especially in creating compounds with potential antiviral and anticancer properties. Additionally, it is employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-rich heterocycles improve stability and performance.
