Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of thiazole-based drugs with antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form complex heterocyclic structures. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the formulation of pesticides and fungicides. Its nitrile and amine functional groups allow for easy modification, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery.
