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 also serves in the preparation of agrochemicals and dyes due to its ability to form stable heterocyclic structures. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building bioactive molecules. Additionally, it is employed in the creation of ligands for catalytic processes and in the study of structure-activity relationships in drug design.
