Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of sulfonamide antibiotics. It serves as a building block in the development of drugs targeting bacterial infections due to its structural similarity to pyrimidine bases found in nucleic acids. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its amino and nitrogen-rich structure makes it valuable in the design of coordination compounds and catalysts in organic synthesis. Additionally, it finds use in research for developing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity.
