Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests or pathogens. Also employed in research for developing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to its ability to act as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving pyrazole-based compounds.
