Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of hydrazide-based drugs with potential antimicrobial and anticonvulsant properties. It serves as a building block in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds such as 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles, which are commonly found in bioactive molecules. Also investigated for its role in medicinal chemistry research due to the presence of the hydrazide functional group, known for its reactivity and biological activity.
