Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry for developing drugs with biological activity. Commonly employed in the production of antifungal agents, antivirals, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also serves as a building block in agrochemicals, helping in the formulation of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators. Additionally, it finds use in the preparation of specialty polymers and corrosion inhibitors due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure. Its ability to act as a ligand in coordination chemistry makes it useful in catalysis for industrial processes.
