Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pyrazolidine derivatives with potential biological activity. It serves as a key reagent in the development of pharmaceuticals, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its stabilized anionic structure makes it suitable for use in condensation reactions and as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Also employed in research settings for the synthesis of novel nitrogen-containing compounds with possible applications in medicinal chemistry and drug design.
