Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of cardiovascular drugs and antihypertensive compounds. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules that modulate enzyme activity, especially in targeting kinases involved in cellular signaling. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to interact with biological systems in selective ways. Its derivatives show potential in medicinal chemistry for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory applications.
