Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals with potential antimicrobial and antifungal activities. It plays a key role in constructing hydrazone-based frameworks that are studied for their biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new crop protection agents due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives. Its structure supports conjugation and electron delocalization, making it valuable in dyes and pigments research.
