Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of thiazole-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds that target enzyme inhibition, especially in oncology and neurodegenerative disease research. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides due to its stable heterocyclic structure. Its methylamino and phenyl groups enhance binding affinity in biological systems, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
