Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for coordination with metal ions, making it useful in the preparation of metal-based pharmaceuticals and catalysts. Also investigated for its role in creating thiadiazole and triazole derivatives, which are important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Shows promise in research focused on new drug candidates targeting infectious diseases and inflammation.
