Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target specific biological pathways. Its structure is valuable in creating compounds with potential therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial agents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic chemistry research for designing novel molecules with tailored properties. Its application extends to agrochemicals, where it contributes to the development of new pesticides or herbicides by modifying its core structure to enhance efficacy and selectivity.
