Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitubercular and antiviral agents. Its hydrazine functionality allows for the formation of various heterocyclic compounds, which are important in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives that exhibit biological activity. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel drug candidates and in the production of agrochemicals due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives.
