Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and receptor ligands. Its structure contains multiple functional groups—amine, thioether, and furan—that make it suitable for conjugation and derivatization in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of compounds targeting neurological and cardiovascular systems due to its flexible backbone and hydrogen-bonding capability. Also utilized in the design of enzyme inhibitors and as a scaffold in drug discovery research.
