Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common motifs in bioactive molecules. It is also employed in the preparation of dyes and functional materials due to its conjugated enone system and amine functionality. The compound’s reactivity makes it suitable for use in condensation reactions and as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of specialty chemicals requiring tertiary amine groups.
