Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It plays a role in the production of agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides, due to its ability to form stable compounds with active ingredients. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis for creating heterocyclic compounds, which are important in material science and dye manufacturing. Its reactivity and structure make it valuable in research for developing new chemical entities with potential therapeutic applications.
