Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing heterocyclic compounds that exhibit enzyme inhibitory activity. Also employed in the preparation of derivatives for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies targeting central nervous system disorders. Its scaffold is valued in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and lower toxicity.
