Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports activity in modulating enzyme systems in plants, making it valuable in crop protection formulations. Also investigated for its potential in medicinal chemistry, especially in designing compounds with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Employed in research settings for building more complex heterocyclic systems due to its reactive amino and amide functional groups.
