Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure, which can interact with biological targets. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its derivatives are investigated for potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides.
