Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for easy functionalization in heterocyclic ring formation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating novel drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of hydrazide-based inhibitors targeting enzymes in pathogenic organisms. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents due to its reactivity and stability in various reaction conditions.
