Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of biologically active compounds. Exhibits potential as a precursor in the preparation of sulfonamide-based pharmaceuticals with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Also employed in research settings for designing hydrazone derivatives that show promise in medicinal chemistry, including studies related to anticancer and antitubercular agents. Its structural features make it valuable in the exploration of new drug candidates through condensation reactions and heterocycle formation.
