Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of biologically active heterocyclic derivatives. It serves as a building block for pyrrole-based structures that show potential in medicinal chemistry, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agents. Its functional groups enable diverse chemical modifications, making it valuable in drug discovery and the design of novel therapeutic molecules. Also applied in research settings for constructing complex nitrogen-containing rings found in natural products and bioactive molecules.
