Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Its structure supports activity against certain pathogenic strains by interfering with microbial metabolic pathways. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in active ingredients. Commonly utilized in research settings for the design of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
