Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammation. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic compounds. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis for constructing nitrogen-containing rings, which are prevalent in many bioactive molecules.
