Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block in the development of triazole and pyrazole derivatives, which exhibit biological activity in crop protection. Also employed in research laboratories for the preparation of hydrazone-based compounds with potential applications in medicinal chemistry. Its aromatic hydrazine structure allows for coupling reactions useful in creating dyes and functional materials.
