Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, including nucleophilic substitution facilitated by the polar bromine substituent, making it valuable in heterocyclic chemistry for constructing complex nitrogen-sulfur containing compounds. Also employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand precursor for metal complexes with potential catalytic or material science applications.
