Widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly as an intermediate in the production of thiazole-based drugs. It plays a key role in the development of antihypertensive agents and antimicrobial compounds due to its ability to form biologically active heterocyclic structures. Its functional groups enable easy modification for creating derivatives with enhanced pharmacological properties. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides, leveraging its stability and reactivity in multi-step organic reactions.
