Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active pyrimidine derivatives. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to influence biological pathways in pests and weeds. Frequently applied in research settings for the design of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic properties.
