Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anxiolytic drugs. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure, which enhances binding affinity to biological targets. Also employed in agrochemicals for the formulation of fungicides and plant growth regulators. Its derivatives show potential in materials science for designing corrosion inhibitors and ligands in catalysis.
