Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a hydrazide-based building block for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common scaffolds in bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for condensation reactions to form hydrazones, useful in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or anticancer activity. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of novel sulfonamide derivatives, which may exhibit enzyme inhibitory properties.
