Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in the formation of pyrrole-based compounds with antimicrobial or antifungal properties. It also serves in the preparation of dyes and functional materials due to its electron-deficient ring system, enabling use in organic electronic applications. Additionally, it acts as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry for constructing complex ring systems in research and development.
