Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex furan-based structures. Its nitrile and amine functional groups allow for further derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug development. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its reactivity and structural stability.
