Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antiviral and antibacterial agents, particularly in the development of quinolone-based pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports enhanced bioavailability and binding affinity to target enzymes in pathogenic microorganisms. Commonly employed in research settings for designing novel compounds with improved potency and resistance profiles. Also explored in agrochemicals for its potential in developing new crop protection agents due to its stable aromatic framework and functional reactivity.
