Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in developing compounds with biological activity, particularly in the design of new drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and antimicrobial agents. It is also employed in the creation of specialty chemicals for use in electronic materials, where sulfur- and nitrogen-containing rings contribute to charge transport properties. Its derivatives are explored in research for organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to their stable aromatic framework and ease of functionalization.
