Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. It serves in the development of heterocyclic systems due to its reactive amino groups, which readily undergo condensation and cyclization reactions. Commonly applied in the synthesis of dyes, fluorescent probes, and functionalized pyrimidine derivatives with potential antimicrobial or antiviral activity. Also utilized in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal ions in catalytic systems.
