Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds with biological activity such as kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure, which can enhance binding to enzyme active sites. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents. Its derivatives are explored for their potential in materials science, especially in the creation of functional organic molecules with electronic properties.
