Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiparasitic and antifungal agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly employed in research settings to design compounds with potential therapeutic activity, especially targeting gastrointestinal and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations for crop protection due to its stability and reactivity in organic transformations.
