Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals targeting inflammatory and infectious diseases. Its structure supports the formation of heterocyclic systems important in drug design, especially for compounds with antimicrobial, antifungal, or anticancer properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for derivatization reactions, enabling the introduction of functional groups that enhance binding affinity to specific enzyme targets. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to cross biological membranes.
