Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, particularly in the preparation of pyrazole and pyridine derivatives with pharmaceutical relevance. Exhibits utility in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its ability to form complex scaffolds through cyclocondensation reactions. Also applied in medicinal chemistry for constructing bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Its α,β-unsaturated carbonyl structure enables Michael addition reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis for building carbon-nitrogen bonds.
