Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to its ability to participate in cyclization and condensation reactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving pyrazole-based compounds. Also utilized in the creation of agrochemicals and dyes where aromatic nitrile and amino functionalities enhance reactivity and binding properties.
