Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for bioactive molecules, particularly in the development of angiotensin II receptor antagonists for hypertension treatment. Also employed in the preparation of tetrazole-containing compounds with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its tetrazole moiety serves as a bioisostere for carboxylic acid groups, enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug design. Applied in research settings for constructing novel heterocyclic systems in medicinal chemistry.
