Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds. It is also employed in click chemistry reactions, where it participates in cycloaddition processes to form complex triazine-based molecules with potential biological activity. Additionally, derivatives of this compound are explored in materials science for designing novel electronic materials and fluorescent probes due to their electron-deficient character and stability.
