Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anticancer agents. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery for targeting specific cellular pathways. Also employed in the preparation of fluorescent probes due to the benzothiazole core’s photophysical properties, useful in bioimaging and molecular sensing. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
