Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying biological activity in drug candidates. Also employed in research settings to design new isoxazole-based molecules with potential therapeutic effects. Shows utility in agrochemicals for creating pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Commonly used in organic synthesis to introduce halogenated aryl and heterocyclic motifs into more complex molecules.
