Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drugs. It plays a role in the development of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to act as a ligand, forming stable complexes with metal ions. Additionally, it is employed in research for studying enzyme inhibition and as a building block in organic synthesis for creating more complex heterocyclic compounds. Its applications extend to material science, where it contributes to the design of advanced materials with specific properties.
