Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of biologically active molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in constructing pyrazole-based derivatives with potential anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, or analgesic properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in candidate drugs.
