Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with biological activity targeting enzyme inhibition in pests or weeds. Also employed in research for novel drug candidates due to its pyrimidine backbone, which is common in bioactive molecules. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis, especially in cross-coupling reactions to form more complex heterocyclic systems.
