Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and central nervous system (CNS) agents, including potential treatments for chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and epilepsy. Exhibits biological activity that makes it valuable in research for new drug candidates, with its isoxazole ring enabling effective crossing of the blood-brain barrier for brain receptor studies. Also employed in agrochemicals as a building block for certain pesticides due to its stable heterocyclic structure. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis for constructing more complex molecules in medicinal chemistry.
