Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that target central nervous system disorders. Its hydrazine functionality allows for coupling reactions in heterocycle formation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing rings. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its structural compatibility with pharmacologically active scaffolds. Also utilized in research settings for the generation of hydrazone-based derivatives with potential antimicrobial or anticancer activity.
