Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting enzyme inhibition. Shows potential in the preparation of thiophene-based heterocycles, which are important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry due to their presence in drugs with antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also employed in research settings for the modification of functional groups in organic synthesis, facilitating the formation of amidines and related structures with enhanced bioavailability and binding affinity.
