Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and engage in sulfur-based interactions, enhancing binding affinity to target proteins. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower environmental impact. Its structural features make it valuable in optimizing drug-like properties such as solubility and metabolic stability.
