Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of bioactive molecules with potential antitumor and antimicrobial properties. It serves as a key reagent in the development of amidoxime derivatives, which are explored for their enzyme inhibitory activity. Also applied in medicinal chemistry research for designing novel compounds targeting kinases and other therapeutic enzymes. Its structure supports conjugation in prodrug formulations to enhance solubility and bioavailability.
