Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of thiophene and thiazole derivatives, which are important in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its amino and thioxo functional groups allow for versatile reactivity in condensation and cyclization reactions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents. Also applied in the production of dyes and functional materials due to its sulfur-containing structure.
