Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing heterocyclic compounds with biological activity. Also employed in agrochemicals to enhance the efficacy of crop protection products. Additionally, it serves in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors and functional materials due to its ability to form stable complexes with metals. Furthermore, it is used in the synthesis of energetic materials and high-nitrogen explosives owing to its thermal stability and high energy density potential.
