Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with biological activity. Its structure supports the construction of heterocyclic compounds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating drugs targeting inflammation, infections, and central nervous system disorders. Also applied in agrochemical synthesis for developing pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form complex molecules. Commonly utilized in research settings for designing new organic compounds and optimizing synthetic pathways.
