Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pyrrole-based derivatives with potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or anticancer properties. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to mimic natural pyrrole motifs.
