Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of energetic materials and pharmaceuticals. Its high nitrogen content and stability make it valuable in developing gas generators, airbag propellants, and pyrotechnic compositions. It also serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry for creating corrosion inhibitors and ligands in coordination compounds. Due to its ability to form stable salts, it is employed in the formulation of ionic liquids and explosives with improved safety profiles.
