Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitubercular and antimicrobial agents. Its thioamide functional group enables coordination with metal ions, making it valuable in the design of metal-based catalysts and bioactive complexes. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding affinity. Shows potential in materials science for creating heterocyclic compounds with luminescent or conductive properties.
