Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for nitrogen-containing rings such as pyrimidines and thiadiazoles, which are common scaffolds in bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the development of plant growth regulators and pesticides due to its ability to enhance reactivity in condensation reactions. Also utilized in the production of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-rich structures are required. Its reactivity with carbonyl and isocyanate compounds makes it valuable in polymer modification and crosslinking agents.
