Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antitubercular and antimicrobial agents. It serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry, facilitating the formation of fused ring systems like triazoles and pyridazines. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate bioavailability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of hydrazide-based inhibitors targeting specific enzymes in pathogenic organisms.
