Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports the formation of pyrimidine-based active ingredients that interfere with plant enzyme systems. Also employed in research for developing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis due to the reactivity of the amino and nitrile functional groups, enabling a variety of derivatization pathways.
