Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of heterocyclic compounds with biological activity. Its structure supports the formation of thiophene-based scaffolds, which are important in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or antitumor properties. Also employed in organic synthesis to build complex molecules through functional group transformations, taking advantage of the amine and carboxylate groups for coupling reactions.
