Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and antibacterial agents. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both phenolic and thiazole functionalities. Also employed in agrochemical formulations for crop protection, where it contributes to the stability and efficacy of certain pesticides. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of dyes and fluorescent compounds used in imaging and sensing applications.
