Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Exhibits activity in antiviral research due to its structural similarity to nucleobases, allowing incorporation into biochemical pathways to disrupt viral replication. Also employed in agrochemical formulations as a building block for herbicides and plant growth regulators. Shows potential in materials science for creating nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds used in corrosion inhibitors and electronic chemicals.
