Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds with biological activity such as anticonvulsants and anti-inflammatory agents. It also serves in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to the reactivity of the thioamide group, enabling the formation of thiazole and thiadiazole rings. Its methoxy-substituted aromatic structure makes it suitable for fine chemical synthesis, including agrochemicals and dyes. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules through condensation and cyclization reactions.
