Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of thiazole-based pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules that interact with cardiovascular targets. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity. The ester and amino functional groups allow for easy modification in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
