Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of thiazole-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Commonly employed in the development of sulfonamide antibiotics due to its ability to enhance biological activity and metabolic stability. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations for crop protection agents, where it contributes to improved efficacy against fungal pathogens. Its structure supports coordination in metal-organic frameworks for catalytic applications.
