This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows it to participate in reactions that form complex molecules, particularly in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, which are often key components in drugs and pesticides. Additionally, it can act as a precursor in the preparation of active ingredients that exhibit antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Its application is also seen in research and development labs for creating novel compounds with potential therapeutic or agricultural uses.
