Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for functionalization that enhances binding to biological targets in agrochemical applications. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential bioactive molecules due to its resemblance to nitrogen-containing heterocycles found in drugs. Shows promise in the design of new compounds with antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Frequently employed in research settings to build more complex pyridazine-based derivatives for screening in drug discovery programs.
