Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer agents, and CNS drugs such as anti-epileptics. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and dyes due to its stable heterocyclic framework. Shows potential in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and fluorescent probes.
