Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also employed in the creation of novel pyrazole-based compounds with potential antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Widely utilized in research and development within the drug discovery process.
