Antibacterial Agents: Building block for quinolone derivatives (e.g., anti-MRSA drugs).
Anticancer Drugs:Functional module for kinase inhibitors (e.g., EGFR inhibitors).
2. Ligand and Catalyst
Metal Complexes:Acts as a bidentate ligand (N,O-donor) for preparing:
Transition metal catalysts (e.g., Cu²⁺/Zn²⁺ complexes for C-N coupling reactions).
Fluorescent probes (e.g., rare-earth metal complexes for bioimaging).
3. Organic Synthetic Building Block
Carboxyl Group Derivatization:
Esterification → Synthesis of liquid crystal material intermediates.
Reduction to alcohol → Preparation of chiral pyrazine alcohol ligands.
Decarboxylative coupling → Construction of functionalized pyrazine derivatives.
