Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds. Also applied in the preparation of energetic materials due to its high nitrogen content and thermal stability. Commonly employed in coordination chemistry as a ligand for metal complexes in catalysis. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemicals for developing herbicides and fungicides.
