Used in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly as an intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with biological activity. Its structure supports the formation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drugs targeting inflammation, central nervous system disorders, and metabolic diseases. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for creating compound libraries in drug discovery programs.
