Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of heterocyclic molecules with potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or antitumor properties. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and condensation processes to build complex nitrogen-sulfur containing frameworks. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes due to its conjugated system and electron-rich moieties.
