Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. Exhibits utility in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic compounds with biological activity. Also employed in research settings to design new drug candidates targeting neurological disorders due to its benzothiazole core, which is known for neuroprotective properties. Shows potential in agrochemical formulations as a building block for novel pesticides with improved selectivity.
