Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of pyrimidine-based drugs. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with potential antiviral, anticancer, or anti-inflammatory properties. Commonly employed in research settings to build complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new active ingredients in crop protection agents due to its ability to modulate biological activity in targeted systems.
