Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and anticancer agents. Its structure supports coordination with metal ions, making it valuable in the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalysts. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and plant growth regulators. Shows potential in materials science for developing fluorescent probes and optoelectronic materials due to its aromatic and heterocyclic nature.
