Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of thiadiazole and triazole derivatives which exhibit biological activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal ions, forming complexes with potential catalytic or pharmacological applications. Also utilized in the development of corrosion inhibitors for metals in industrial systems due to its sulfur- and nitrogen-containing functional groups that enhance surface adsorption. Shows promise in medicinal chemistry for designing new drug candidates targeting specific enzymes or receptors.
