Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for heterocyclic compounds due to the reactivity of its amide groups and aromatic backbone. Its structure allows for incorporation into larger molecules where enhanced stability and hydrogen bonding are required. Also explored in the design of ligands for metal coordination in catalysis. Additionally, finds use in research settings for studying amide-based interactions in biomimetic systems.
