Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a building block for hydrazine-containing molecules, which are important in the development of drugs with antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer activities. Also employed in the synthesis of functional polymers and as a precursor in the production of agrochemicals. Its hydrazine and amide functional groups allow for diverse chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
