Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain antihistamines and antiarrhythmic drugs. Serves as a building block in agrochemicals for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators. Employed in the preparation of specialty solvents and catalysts due to its basic nitrogen center and organic solubility. Applied in research laboratories as a ligand in coordination chemistry for metal-catalyzed reactions. Also utilized in the development of ionic liquids for electrochemical applications.
