Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in the design of compounds with potential antimicrobial, antifungal, or antiviral properties. Its structure supports conjugation in medicinal chemistry, enabling the creation of more complex heterocyclic systems. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of fluorescent probes and sensors due to the benzothiazole core’s favorable photophysical characteristics.
