Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based drugs with biological activity. It serves in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds for potential use in antiviral and antitumor agents. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactive hydrazine group. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis to build complex nitrogen-containing rings through cyclization reactions. Its methoxy and hydrazine functionalities allow for selective modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
